Comet 250/280 - Sturdy Quadcopter Frame with internal controller deck

thingiverse

Tired of brittle 3d printed frames that bend while banking, constantly need new spare parts and lack protection of your valuable electronics? Then try the Comet. The Comet was designed to withstand a huge amount of force on the arms whiles being even lighter than other comparable frames. The vibration damped deck is in the center of the chassis to ensure a maximum of protection for your cam and flight controller. The 250mm variant can carry 5" and 6" props (even though the 6" make it already tough to mount the lipo on the top) whilst the 280mm arms give you enough space for a huge 4s Lipo + 6" prop. Our two test frames already survived a respectable amount of beating, including a free fall on wooden floor. Please share your experience with the frame!
