That indeed looks like an alien craft!! Good job!  {:)}
BTW did you able to increase the flight timing? 

gunnu

 Yup but not too much only 2 mins... :banghead:

Now that's a really cool quad :thumbsup: It looks really good and the build seems really neat too.
Did you have any problem with customs? How much was the shipping?

@gunnu I guess u r using 810 Kv motors right? What size props are you using with 4S? 2kg AUW is a pretty heavy craft. Best way to increase flight time is to use much lower Kv motors (300-600) with larger props (14" - 17") with higher battery like 5S or 6S. This way you can get heavy lift plus more flight time. Ofcourse the expenses also rises alogside.  :headscratch:

It cost me around 73$ for frame and 17$ shipping (via registered mail) and no customs and take 15 days to arrive...

Not sure upto what size prop your frame gonna support, but with a 15" prop and a 380 KV motor and a 6S lipo, will give you huge lift which gives you a freedom to add lot of stuffs and accessories to your quad as well as around 25 mins of flight time!

Well done gunnu!  {:)} Great stable flight. Have you tried with the gimbal and camera? What is the total flight duration? Now you have to work on how to extend the flight time!!  8-)

gunnu

thanx
yup i tested today.. it gives me 16 mint flight time until second protection triggered ( battery was at 16.8 volts and after flight battery was at 14.4 volts)
AUW 2kg..

meet2ami

Well thats not bad at all! Is it just hovering or full length flight? Nyways, 16 min with 2kg AUW is pretty good. Keep it up!  :thumbsup:
My AUW is around 1600 gms and I get around 9-10 mins with 3300mAh 4S, 9" props.

gunnu

 9 to 10 mints with 3300mAh is pretty nice.. i am too wondering how i get this much flight time? ???
