Moskito 70 prop guard

thingiverse

Primary reason for this is to more easily remove the prop guard. I fly indoors and outdoors... indoors(house), I like the protection, but outdoors, ditching the guard adds a bit of performance (I think ;) ). This is a remake of jjd64's removable prop guard. Had problems printing his, since the extensions that link the frame to the guard were not strong enough, and the joining was to fragile. This remake adjusted that. In my opinion it now prints as strong as it can with the size limits. I also made a little groove in the added pieces to reduce the weight a little without compromising strength. At best, because of the way this mounts it does have room for movement, so a crash or hard knock will end up with the prop guard hitting the props, but to date I have not damaged props due to the frame. Also note. If you use this type of prop guard, then you will have to use the extra standoffs you got with the Moskito. You will also need to ensure that all your electronics is tucked away well, since it is now no longer held in by the frame. I might design something that replaces the standoffs and "casing". EDIT: Added the inner guard, as mentioned before, just to keep everything tidy... taken from lgb's frame: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2173393 It has 3, standoffs.... this is not a mistake. I preferred it like this, so that I could access the USB port. It's perfectly stable thus far. I have added a four leg version as well
