    Sim-mode

    $ 36.28

    Similar frames are becoming popular with some German and Swede pilots for their flight characteristics (see Carbix frames or Blitzfpv frames), something to do with reduced drag and less drift due to the 8 vertical members.  Anyway, this is my take on it.  About 66g of carbon, the twelve 14 mm screws will certainly add a bit to that. Yes, that's a tilted back top-plate, mostly for looks.

    These arms are just 2 mm thick (as are the Carbix frames), not much thickiness is required as the box-frame distributes impacts around the outside skeleton and jointly across all arms.  Hit my email up if you're interested in seeing a beefed up "tank" version, erikspen@gmail.com, that's an easy change to make in the CAD model, available for viewing here: Onshape model
