Crashex FPV Drone v2.2

***UPDATE 20.05.2017*** Improved version of the camera holder is now available.\r\n\r\nThe Crashex was designed as a 270 racing drone with ample space for electronics and a fully 3D-printable frame. Since I first conceived it, components have become smaller and the trend has shifted towards smaller racers. I am currently working on a 180 drone while continuing to refine the Crashex frame. It flies well with LDPower 250-2 engines, 15A HW-ESCs, CC3D, and 3S batteries ranging from 1300 to 2200 mAh.\r\n\r\nAn updated version of the proven Crashex FPV drone (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2064996) has been developed. The number of screws required for arm changes has been reduced, and a removable camera holder with adjustable angle for the small Runcam Owl has been designed. The new Crashex is slightly more compact, with engine-engine-distance reduced to 19.5 cm.\r\n\r\nWe have attempted to print it in PETG but have found that PLA remains the best material, contrary to our expectations. We will continue experimenting and appreciate any feedback from those who print this drone.\r\n\r\nImprovement suggestions and feature requests are welcome!\r\n\r\nThe advantages of using a 3D-printed frame include:\r\n\r\n- design can be customized according to preferences\r\n- broken pieces can be easily replaced, eliminating the need to order a new frame
