    5 years ago I build a quadcopter using exact same motors. I even also designed a frame on 3mm acrylic sheet which is cut using CO2 laser. I even use electrical tapes, and cable ties to held it together. Then, i fly it using turnigy controller and crashed it immidiatelly.
    That was my first quadcopter build. I saved a money from a school pocket money to buy the cheapest components. I also watched Flitetest on how to build it. I am having fun on those days and I am quite proud of it.

    Interesting. I have been considering cutting a 2.5 inch frame from 1/8 inch LEXAN plastic. The stuff is crystal clear and pretty strong. It is stronger and less brittle than Acrylic plastic. Plus, LEXAN is available in different thicknesses. Yeah, Botgrinder cut a clear yellow acrylic frame that busted into pieces on first crash.
