    Description
    This is a "full bodied" quadcopter design based on the same arms (and other ideas) from the T6 hexacopter. If you're after something a bit simpler then I've also put together amashup of MikeyB's Crossfire 2 and the tubular arms that feature in this quadcopter.

    Features:
    • completely 3D printable (without support)
    • simple assembly
    • includes a single motor arm or optionally use the coaxial arms from the T6 and create an X8!!
    • strong braced tube section arms with plenty of room to conceal motor wiring
    • designed for a single 3S or 4S battery located right in the center of rotation/thrust with room for up to a 6000mah 3S or 4200mah 4S battery (155 x 50 x 30mm capacity).
    • easy cable routing with beveled cable "tunnels" (and even a few cable tie mounts)
    • plenty of space to mount ESCs - concealed but still well ventilated for cooling - perfect for a 4-in-1 ESC too.
    • top plate is designed for the new Pixhawk flight controller from 3D Robotics - but can easily be tweaked for others
    • RF "invisible" frame - as opposed to carbon fiber or aluminium
    • Frame weight assembled (with bolts) is about 460g and feels really solid!
    • Hover flight time test to come (my 4-in-1 ESCs should be arriving this week :) )
    • Sketchup file included so you can make changes to suit yourself
