extended leg for F450 size quadcopter

I had been looking for extended legs for an F450 qudcopter clone. I was converting it for aerial photography and need room underneath for a camera gimbal. Originally I printed the legs by lijbotero at this link - http://www.thingiverse.com/make:237142 These were great but I needed taller so I modified them to make them longer but the problem then were they were quite flimsy. Unfortunatly one of the legs broke on the second flight so I decided to design my own using lijbotero's design for inspiration. The result can be seen in the pictures. I didn't intent there to be a the opening in the middle of the legs but I liked it so I left it as it was. I had intended to put some structure in the gap to provide additional strength but it doesn't seem needed. As you can see you can fill this gap with something useful such as your 'handle', email address or telephone number. Useful if you have a fly away and lose the quadcopter. Now who ever finds it could have a way of contacting you. (see design section.)
