After some flight I decided to built my own frame.  H copter should be more stable in the air. Also more convenient for FPV and Gopro.

I built H frame from wood, bought in local store. You should always have in mind, that frame should be light.

First you need to cut off wood. And then you can start assembly.  I used quality glue for wood, because we don’t want to fall apart in the air.

Then I leaved it for about 4 hours. Frame is really stiff.

After check, I decided to paint it. Because paint protects wood and you can see it easily in the air.

So whole frame weights about 600 gr. Which is quite a lot. So with all electronics on and battery it should weight about 1000 gr. But frame is very stiff. You need at least 1000kv motors and 20 amp ESC. But more powerful motors would be even better.

Unfortunatly I don’t have enough strong motors for this frame. And I spent quite a lot of money for parts and charger,extra battery. So I’ll have to wait a while, cause I’m broke 🙂

I don’t know why  all my hobbies are so expensive. :S

No money, no fun…
