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...
