Hi. I am from Hyderabad. Is there any site selling ALUMIIUM PIPES for construction of quadcopter? So far I have found ONLY http://rcelectro.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.v5.tpl&product_id=191&category_id=24&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=30&vmcchk=1&Itemid=30 (http://rcelectro.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.pbv.v5.tpl&product_id=191&category_id=24&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=30&vmcchk=1&Itemid=30) this one. Anymore?
lol.. have you even considered visiting some local shops.. internet shouldn't be always your first choice.. look around..
Hmm... but who likes to go and ask those hardware shop owners who can't differentiate between a hollow aluminium square-pipe and a solid iron rod? ;)
you should just go around the warehouse & have a look.. dealing with such people is an art..

haha well said. they don't know what is 'hollow'. sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes to explain them for what we need them and the reaction is they will start looking at us like we are ET. if you say channel they will show you C piples and if you say only pipe they will show you round bars. For quad best is 1/2 inch hollow square pipe. I have tried 2/3 and it's good. You can reduce weight by drilling 9mm holes into it.
@reas : Well said! Of course dealing with such people IS an art!
Which tool is best to cut alluminium ? I want to make C shape frames.
