Nice one! Transparent models! What about adding some LEDs and making a night flyer ?

I thought the polycarbonate sheets were kinda expensive compared to depron or other materials. What made you use them ? Other than being unbreakable.

That is so cool.  Post some videos.

Did you just use a hacksaw to cut everything ?  Or is there any other trick to making fine cuts on this material ?

yes they are bit expensive but very durable/ washable etc and most important very sturdy and does not need any reinforcement.
another point is that all the electronics are cable tied to the board and therefore flexible.

i could cut it with normal korean knife, bit tricky and not as easy as depron.
