As you can see in the video, it flies very solid for using little to no hardware. Although the spacers seem useless in the Quad-X frame, they play a crucial role in the X-8 frame. Spacers on the X-8 frame should be glued back to back with crazy glue to help score some rigidity. Keep in mind that for the X-8, you may need at least 60C discharge rate packs to avoid cell damage and puffing. Eight motors pulling peaks of 15-18 amps at 12 volts (3s) boils down to 1500-1700 watt peaks. Amps sure do add up. Now you have a 300 size that peaks out at 1.7kw. Motors Used: Emax 2300kv Props: 5x6 carbon fiber ESC: Emax 12amp Pack: 3s 1400mah or 2200mah Controller: CC3D, NAZE32, or APM Mini (with my personal favorite 8bit microcontroller) Frame Weight:185 grams X-8 Frame Weight: 270 grams Quad-X Weight With 1400mah pack: ~1.5lbs X-8 Weight with 2200mah pack: ~2.25lbs Need a bag of: Hitch Pin Clips 3/16 1” Cons (Need to be Solved) -Mild Boom wobble -Not made of Carbon Fiber -A little Heavy(slowly getting stronger and lighter though) -Currently can’t be purchased -Requires further development -Development account unfortunately seized by Mass.Gov Pros -Less than five minute frame assembly (F1 Inspired) -Easy to repair -No tools required for air frame assembly (AR-15 Inspired) -Use of Hitch Pin Clips is the only hardware required for frame assembly -Modular Design (Lego Inspired) -Designed with Lean Manufacturing methods in mind Hot glue works great to lock in the motor booms, and void wobble.
