This frame with wood is 193 Grams.

Items you will need to build the FRAME only:
1. Printer.
2. 14 pieces of Paper.
3. 2 full pieces of Foam Board. 20in x 30in x 3/16in.
4. Exacto Blade
5. Hot Glue Gun with Glue sticks
6. 2 pieces of square dowel 1/2in x 8 1/2in.

ATTENTION!! On the body of the fuselage of the plans you will see some long dashed lines. Only cut through ONE side of the foam. I will cover this in the build video.

To download the plans go to FleshPilot.com and click on the FREE PLANS link at the top right of the home page. Or Click here http://www.fleshpilot.com/?page_id=2264

 

This is how the plans should look when taped together.

Very interesting design. When can we expect the build video or even pictures and directions? I am wondering what's inside the shell.

Probably not for a week or so. My wife's water broke this morning. Looks like we are having a baby today. There's nothing in the shell. How to run the electronics is up to the person. I cut a small door in the back of the body to slide my battery in and out. I'll cover all of that in the build. Sorry I ran out of time with the holiday and the baby coming early and all.

Congratulations! There is only one thing better than a new baby. It's a new grandbaby.

Congrats! I would love to see a build video, as this might be the best way for me to enter 250 racers (I built a 450 already). My only concern is that this frame is 50% heavier than other 250 frames, any Idea on how to cut that down?

Really Cool Design. I like how the blades are protected so running in to trees or whatever won't end up in tons of broken props.

Really hope to see a build video soon.

Congrats on the new baby. Congrats.

How do you attach the mini quad motor to the wood? Mine did not come with any mounting hardware other than screws.

Jake Wells on December 10, 2014
Oooo good question. What motors do you have?

emax 2204 2300k. The screws that same with it have a really big head, and are not flat at all.
