Here are a few pics of a recent project - a inexpensive DIY vacuum-formed styrene quad frame that can take any abuse thrown at it. So far it has survived flying in a downpour, falling from great heights and getting hit with a barrage of paintballs - and it's survived it all with no problems. Today we're testing water take-off's and landings. Wish us luck...

This, or a variation, will be the way mass production will be done for these systems.
High utility and ruggedness is essential for the mass market or even specialized versions.
Well done!
(wish I had made it first...)

Got my own small vacuum forming machine, going to try something soon with Kydex.
Your designs look very sturdy.
And paintball proof.
Just 2 words. realy nice.
Nice! This is a really great idea. Monocoque frames are a massive win. And then add cheap and waterproof...
