See-thru Glass Quadcopter!

[leadpan]

Decades ago, I remember watching TV show "Wonder Woman" who flew a 'glass-airplane." Well, here's a see-thru quad.
The frames, arms and landing-gears made with acrylic-glass.
Maiden flight this morning with KK2.1 board(soon to be replaced with Naze32), and it flew well!
The props were not balanced so I expect more stable flight tomorrow. Will mount 1.3Ghz video transmitter soon.

Forgive me for being cynical but... it's not glass - it's acrylic, a clear plastic

Another flight test using Acro Naze32. THIS IS ONE AMAZING F/C!
Also add the FPV components: 1.2Ghz Tx, 600TVL camera.
Getting into the football spirit.

Too bad you can't get transparent wire and electronics

Another great flight after upgrading to SunnySky motor and Naze32 Fullversion.
