Building the plastic frame

After a couple of tests, we found that the plastic had a nice rigidity when bent in a proper form. So we did a couple of additional tests.

And then, started to build the new frame.

Drawing and cutting took more than 2 hours...

Finished version 2.0

Everything looked promising, except for the legs. It would take just one flight for the legs to break.

• Not too expensive
• Light weighted (not as much as carbon fiber but good enough)
• Very easy to cut (with a paper cutter)
• Very easy to bend (applying some heat)

So we started the new design inspired on the XProHeli:
