Mini H-quad w carbon rods **55g frame**

thingiverse

love these mini H-quads....but my fully 3D printed version broke a leg, after a RX brownout.....and was ~70g.... this one is only 55g and the carbon rods are super stiff, and won't be breaking anytime soon....the 3D printed parts should be very tuff as well..... made for the KK2.* FC...I mounted mine on 4 o-rings under the FC...for a small amount of vibration dampening...then zip-tied in spot. I am building with Turnigy 1811 2900kv...plush 6A as they are very lite motors and ESCs.... using GF 5030 props should be a lite H-quad....~170g (NO batt) I cut my carbon rods to 160mm (arms) x2 and 142mm x2 to give me ~142mm between motor mounts.... same as my last mini h-quad. (140mm) making it ~ a '200mm' quad...but could easily be a 250mm quad with a increase in only the carbon rods.... thx to pragamichele, for the great idea....I took his idea, and re-caded for my use.... build pics soon.... the quad is made to be aligned upside down and flat on the bench.... my hole cuts are caded @ 6.25mm to give shrinkage and fit tolerance....so 6mm carbon rods are a nice tight fit, when printed on my UP printer @ 0.25mm laying height.... BUILD PIC UPDATE: Carbon rod / 3D printed 176g 200mm Quad 3rd Quad build ever....tried to make this one as lite as I could get it... carbon rod arms...way tuff 3D printed parts, very lite Cut down 9X8c v2 RX...custom 31mm antenna micro buzz bar underneath flys smooth and lite w heaps of grunt....pretty happy for a 3rd build...learning heaps every time I do a new build.... KK2.0 is mounted on 4 o-rings....for a small amount of vibration reduction ADDED; Landing gear foot, 07/09/14
