Yes, not for the faint of heart. However, that frame represents a lot of work. It is quite a process to lay up fiberglass or carbon fiber to create that type of design. Your paying for the craftsmanship.

I gotta say that the more common readily available parts your frame uses and the easier it is to fix in the flying field, the more flights you will have with it. Build a strong center hub and roll cage to protect the boards. Have arms that are easily replaceable and motor mounts that are strong and simple.
Cheers,
Jim

speaking of gps... Do you have any plans to "windproof" quadpowered by doing something like this?
dph (dynamic position hold) (2 min 49 sec)

This will give you very affordable and very good flight performances
Thankyou for your feedback Mike. Take it you didnt see my links (ie: which in that internet shop would be best for this - didn't want to blatantly "pimp" that company by putting their link in the Thread, hence a PM)...

The stated Hacker's above arent cheap! Looking around $240 for 4 !
However I take it these Hackers would make perfect motors for a quad. cheers.
