H-Frame Quad 570 Build

Build video on a custom designed H-quad helicopter. How to use alumiweld to weld aluminum tubing together to make a strong durable quadcopter in an H format. Detailed instructions on materials, and how to assemble.  The Video is so long because I spend a lot of time showing how to use Alumiweld Complete with CAD Drawing. Diagonal size motor to motor 570mm

You did a great job of construction & design.....however.....I'm wondering about ventilation for your ESC's. Don't they run a little warm??? Maybe the entire frame works as a heat sink. Really an aggressive sounding machine.....
Good job.....
