After the ArduCopter build. I decided to build a small quad for fun. And release it to the public. You can use my design to make your own or change my design to make your own mini quad.
The picture is just a sketch. I didn't finished the design. So it just a screenshot.
It is 1:1 size that you can easily get the idea how big it is.
I used the Adobe illustrator to design the frame. The file can be send to the Ponoko.com to make frame (Acrylic 3.0mm or thicker).
The frame will have 2 or 3 layers. The top layer will used to guide APM, receiver, Moter, ESC, wire and etc. The bottom layer will be the battery holder. Motor arm and holder will be integrated as one layer.
Parts:
1. Frame: 26.5cm (10.4 inches) from motor to motor (Ponoko.com price will be around $50 or less)
2. Motors: C1822 Micro brushless Outrunner 2100kv (14g)
