Done! Frame reinforced with 2 layers of coro. Perfect take off and hover!

Here are a few pics of the modified airframe and landing pads. Flex reduced substantially hence flights are more stable. I was too nervous to try to fly and shoot a video at the same time. Need one of Ashta Sir's hat cams. My assistant, Indrakshi Chaudhury, was also absconding today.

She has a very stable hover when I do a hand launch at about 7 feet height. Need to work more on my ground take offs. Hope to upload a convincing video by tomorrow.

My Mother was kind enough to sew me a couple of velcro battery straps. They are awesome. I wonder how I was doing without these for so long. The buckles are made out of bent copper rods 1.5mm.

I have always been very wary about charging a LiPo that is attached to a model with zip ties. In case something goes wrong with the battery, the model itself is doomed.

Please request your assistant to take a vid and let us all admire your quad's stability!

VC sir i am also using C type channels but yours look too thin. My first set of aluminium channels was really weak. They were just 1mm thick. Later i bought another set they have same thickness but they are reinforced with something that can't be bent easily.

VC

Dharmik you are absolutely right, that is why I reinforced them with a double layer of coro. My next Quad will be stronger. Much stronger.
