Still uploading - thanks to super fast Idea Internet

Yes I used ferric chloride.

EDIT : Photos uploaded , had to compress it to lowest size for uploading

Here is the bottom plate with Ugly power distribution hub .
Actually this was not preplanned, But while searching for some thing else found This copper clad board in my junk box  , Took a permanent marker, drew that artwork (May be it is modern art) by hand - no any pre plans, just drew a track. - Put in Ferric chloride (Have lot in stock !!) - Had to fight with mom for getting a ceramic plate and boiling some water from Kitchen  .

Drilled it Last day and put it all to the frame yesterday (New year eve !!)

The frame just put together to check alignment.

Here is Bottom plate painted black and ESCs soldered on .

Now gonna mount the electronics, I currently have only a KK 5.5 board- so put it up

Now motor mounting - I am still satisfied with zip ties

placed a little double side foam tape just below motors this ensures motors stay put, and also reduces vibrations considerably.

A small hole is cut on the foam tape to allow motor shaft free space to rotate - thought there is no much protruding motor shaft, it may brush with the foam tape while mounting tightly.



All arms done with foam tape

Motors and ESC mounted .

Now the new three blade props, thanks to parvesh sir

The full black version :


The Green and Black version :



Now guys, which one is cool ? 

Green?

Well, in photo it looks yellow !! or green , OMG Am I color blind

Well under the fluorescent tube in my room, it looks florescent yellow may be fluorescent green ! 

Color doesn't matter , anyway nice progress    , waiting for FPV upgrade.

Me too, but I am already in debt to you  - pocket is not permitting 

Everything Should be alright Soon  .

Had a flight today with a KK5.5 board, used the same trimming setup in Tx, that I have been using for the first frame - I had to set very high trims on elevator and rudder then, the quad showed tendency to flip on lift. So just centered all sticks, and again done trimming it level , happy to say it needs only one or two point trimming (For the old frame - used very high trims)

Is this because frame is balanced

Still I need to apply a little more trim to yaw right, the quad has tendency to yaw to left - why is this so ?

i found a really nice deal on dx.com rs 1300 for audio video tx rx set of 200 mw i will soon post the link

www.dx.com/p/20mw-5-8ghz-wireless-av-transmitter-module-5-8ghz-video-av-receiver-set-for-fpv-system-256271   here we go

Tanmay, thanks for your efforts , but that is a 20mW Transmitter and we need to add antennas.

I have got a deal on ebay for 5.8GHz 200mW 8Ch Tx+Rx at 32$ (~2000INR) - Now have to arrange money

nice build..

gunnu

sooraj bro, even I wanted one if you have a good deal

and if possible 2 pairs of prop savers too ? for 1045 props.
PM

Nice build Sooraj 

I liked your coat-hanger landings skids  May be its a better idea to change their orientation assuming your quad is facing towards the Yellow Only/Or Black Only directions. Hope to see video soon.
