Do not order the frame I posted if you have not ordered it already. Its the carbon frame that costs $30. It is not very strong, and I will not be flying this one.

After further analysis these are actually stronger than the fiberglass that I am using from buddyRC. I am so use to handling my Tarot that it felt weak, but it isn't. I just ordered this http://team-blacksheep.com/products/prod:aerial_mob_extension so this should all go together well.

I have used the MWC reptile frame before and it's not bad for the cost. Put 2 more stand offs along the frame midway between the arms and you will have a very hard time bending or twisting it. Add a couple pieces of CF reinforcement and it can be impressive.
The Team Blacksheep arms look pretty cool. I prefer the Aimdroix extended Arms because they weigh 30g less each(almost the same as 2 motors total) and cost $50 less per set. They are about the same length.

Something to consider when swapping from 3s to 4s and back is don't forget to adjust your FCB or Tx or both to get your throttle positions correct. A 50% setting for hover on a 3s may be a 100% setting with a 4s battery. That could be a very exciting flight.....Haha!!

Actually it would be lower hahaha. 4S has more power (assuming the same props).

Please explain. Once again I am confused( big surprise). I admit I do not swap batteries with different voltages, but instead tried to apply logic to the process. I should know better.......Haha!

Congrats on the new house Dangerousdave! Bigger yard/open spaces for flying?

Never mind G. I figured it out. That's 2 new things this week. One from Jackson on being able to use older radio gear for newer models and one from you on how to actually use my brain............
