    Extra long F550 arms.

    Thanks... I fly them all every weekend... They each have a character of their own. I just built a Y6 using a NAZA-M Lite to see how they are and I am impressed. The boom is mounted with rubber isolators and the turn buckles allow free movement. I am now using CF rod rather than steel rods to...

    The landing gear is from Quadframe LLC. They have a good selection of sizes. I am using the 200mm http://www.quadframe.us/collections/landing-gear The antennas are both 2.4GHz in that pick. A 3dB short range and a 5dB mid range antenna. That's when I had my Diversity receiver on there. I have...

    I make those to the length I need to clear the props. I'm replacing the steel turn-buckles with CF today so I have it removed.

    With that 3S 2600 in there it's just under 1000gr. Some owners really push theirs over weight. I sold the RCT arm assemblies with motors and LEDs and went back to the 550 size as it's pretty loaded up now with A GoPro, FPV, iOSD and the NAZA-M V2. Soon to get the H3-2D Zenmuse and retracts that...

    Yeah, the 2212/920's with the new 1038 DJI props and 4S batteries fly great. Plenty of lifting power.

    Youtube: Hydrographics or Hydro-dipping http://youtu.be/QIPDi35ByW8 I de-solder the 2mm antenna and re-solder the 4mm antenna I get from one of my old Antenna element suppliers.

    I dabble in some CF Hydro-dipping. I then replace the GPS 2mm antenna for a High Gain 4mm unit.

    I am also very happy with the arms. Very stout and flys great.

    Looks good! Does it fly any different?

    With that said... why don't you start making these aluminum arms?

    If you have owned any Multicopter with CF rods you know they twist with just a small impact and you don't want 6 motors vibrating into an IMU. It is not good for the electronics or telemetry.That is why you are seeing all the isolation on the mounts today. I could probably get mounts milled for...

    That would be very do-able but you want some flex and you want something cheap to break.

    Based on the low gloss, that arm looks to be cast with some CNC work. Very cheap and also very easy to snap. I wouldn't send my CAD files to South China so there is no way to get 6061 arms CNC'd for $25.00. The reason why we don't see them is because of their cost. I am sure there are many...
