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.

  1. WOW! That frame looks amazing! But what puzzles me is how did you manage to bend the plastic? You probably used heat, right? Is the part where it's bent, safe? Will it crack from the vibrations? Anyhow, this seems like a project that takes plenty of time, and for those who are looking to build a drone by themselves, but faster, I suggest frame kits.
