Built back in 2011
Features:
- Wooden booms - don't laugh at them!
- Easy to mount and fix.
- Cable ties on motors and a plastic food container to house the FC
- Flies really well and easy to maintain and repair. Actually crash damage is never too much.
- All motors are now angled 5 degrees into the yaw direction for very positive yaw control.
- HK450 Heli skid to land on.

My latest Quad
Its a cross between a MultiWiiCopter and the Talon. Scary - maybe. It just evolved that way!
Flys really nice. Using MWC with baro for alt lock.

I found the standard prop adapters that came with the motor very hard to balance - so they ended up in the bin -

Better prop adapter. Also note the 14mm CF tube over the 12mm CF tube to fit HK mount clamp
