HobbyKing Quadcopter Frame V1

Thats a great deal, well ignoring the 3 month wait for it to get in stock and to ship, as well the $30 shipping cost... Plywood is plenty strong enough for a frame, and that one looks quite well designed. The landing gear appear to be fiberglass too. Sure you could break it with a big crash.. .but its only $14.

Anybody seen those parts before that hang the camera mount that look like vibe dampeners? Wonder where you get those?

That bottom tray for the camera that's just glued tabs, I don't know... Don't mind them when there is something else holding it together, like a bolt or something, but just glue?

Hey $15 is what its worth I guess.

for 14 bucks might as well buy it for the cameramount and rip it out

Actually, simple wood-glue is amazingly strong when glueing... you guessed it... wood. If the wood-glue gets into to fibers of the wood and isn't over paint, finish, or something stopping the glue getting into the wood, the joints where it's glued will be stronger than the non-glued wood. Weird huh!

If they weren't sold out, I'd order one. Bummer.

Guys on RC Groups got them for $12 exactly on swarm sail before they went on back-order. Don't waste your $3 next time they appear in-stock , we'll start the swarm-sale.

About the shipping: I ordered three big orders from HobbyKing until now, and every time weight of the package was about 1.5kg (3lbs), and cheap international shipping to Europe was proportional to the weight, and never over 30-35$ for a whole package. So cheap shipping for this frame will be around $6-$8 to Europe, almost certainly price will not to go over $20 with shipping.

I have about 11 order from HK, cheaper that ordering something in US, and, I'm just beside (Canada!) And delivery is almost the same time!

Hehe, go copy-paste => make for a fraction of original price :P

I really like the frame look. Buy and give a review please. For this amount of moneys I guess you could have a big stock of them at home and not having to worry about a thing. You could probably also use them for boomerangs! Wonder how good the "return to home" would be though...

they clear their stock in haft an hour when it was posted on DIYDrone!!!
