I came up with a conopy design for the Flite Test H Quadcopter (plans are below). This is my frist multicopter I am working on and I really do love the H quad. I am hoping to use it for general flying and for FPV. When I began to work on this quadcopter , I wanted more than a frame , I wanted a suitable canopy that would give it a nice look and also protect the electronics.
My design was inspired by Curtist Young blood Sting Ray 500 which I first saw on Flite Test.

My materials : 1/2 inch poplar dowels and I used 5mm foam board for the bottom.

Dry fit assembly on top of drawn plans

Glued and pressure applied by books

Completed frame

Mock up of quad copter canopy from cardstock paper

Canopy drawn out on dollar tree foam board

Part of canopy cut out and lines was cut out ( should have scored the lines instead)

Canopy assembled

Canopy part two cut out

Canopy part two assembled

Both Canopies together

Painted

Canopy by it self

Self madePaper model Go pro hero 3

Go pro camera in the quad canopy (fits perfectly!)

In the plans , I provided the drawings for the way I did the back of my quad. I made it like a shelf which would be used for putting FPV gear , like the Antenna at the back to help with separation of Antenna and reciever. If you would like you can just make the back round.

These are the parts used for the back on the plans and when completed.

This is how far I made it with the Quad copter. I will soon order the electronics for it but I personally Love the design of my canopy, Hoping you all will like the canopy design also.
Here are the plans for the H Quad canopy and the paper model Go pro Hero 3.
Enjoy and Thanks
