    any chance on making your mounts dual's for those who want the extra lift of a Y6?

    What else is made from Delrin?  Guitar picks! Thin Delrin that can be hit against metal strings for hours on end, with force and without breaking makes for a good tricopter frame material.

    Hooks: Only the flight controller cover and feet are acrylic. The frame and motor-mounts are made of Delrin -- a super strong plastic that, in my opinion, performs better than fiberglass. Fiberglass is harder and will break on hard impact. Delrin will give instead of breaking on a hard crash. Delrin is, in my opinion, also a better choice for FPV tricopters over carbon-fiber as it does not interfere with the video signal, which carbon-fiber can.
