skull and bones 230 mini quadcopter

thingiverse

This design stands out with the numerous remixes - I'm definitely not alone in that opinion. I needed one for 5/30 props, so I used Sketchup to scale it up. It flies smoothly like it's on a track. The Quad is incredibly lightweight compared to other commercial frames. The smaller frame shown in the picture is the original size of 180mm.

However, the alignment of the motor mounting slots remained unaffected.\nPost-Printing\nWith added FPV gear onboard\nSomething new is introduced here. There are eight 12-Amp blue series ESCs flashed with SimonK firmware in place. A Naze Flight controller, two power distribution boards, four Y-splitters to drive each pair of motors (DYS BE1860 2300KV) are all there too. It's flying with Qurnum 5X3 props attached. The first flight was successful; it exhibited a bit of twitchiness on the default setting though. Getting it tuned in took no time at all.
