Quadrocopter aluminium alloy airframe
Materials: Aluminum tube + Glass fiber
Size: <> 550mm diameter.
Net Weight: <> 380g
Flying Weight: <> 1000g
Propellers: 8-10”
Description: Small, lightweight but really sturdy Quadrocopter Airframe.
Motors, propellers, battery:
Quadrocopter Airframe is prepared for typical motors with <>19mm mounting hole distance.
Arms are long enought for 10” propellers, but 8” propeller with a little faster
motor 2208~2216(1000~1200kv) are big enought.
Space for LiPo acc is easy fit 2200 LiPo or bigger.
Typical flying time is 10-15min (with 2200mAh LiPo, depending of flying style).
The specifications and designs are subject to be changed without prior notice for futher improvement.
Comments
I agree about the holes. Weakens the whole arm for no good reason. No significant weight saving or increase in airflow.
Yeah, also too many sharp 90 degree angles on the plate. That's where all the stress cracks are going to happen first.
I like the design. Elegant in it's simplicity. It is true that the holes in the arms create a sub-optimized design. But overall I don't think it's too bad.
Looks nice! but to me holes in Alu arms = weaker... Arms will bent for sure in light crash.
Of course I am not saying that no holes are so much better but just would take a bit more beating before they need to be replaced.
Check these carbon motor mount also... they have been proven to fail do to stress fatigue.
Most people using X1/X525 frames (using the Carbon motor mounts) are switching over to Alu ones.

Really like the landing gear! Can you get even higher ones?
