The top is using 9x4.7 and flight time without the gimbal and a different landing gear was around 10 minutes. The hex is 812mm, and I have not had time to fix it and maiden it yet, the aluminium motor mounts in the center allot the screws to go in too far so I have to shim it out a bit hahaha.
I think the top middle one has a small technical problem hahaha.
yeah picking up new motors today. 1 caught fire, and the other the hole on my carbon fiber prop was too small so rather then file it out i rammed it on and got it stuck. so when torquing on it with a pipe wrench wrecked the motor lol.
Think I spend more time fixing than flying these days !

I'm not a fan of those long legs, have some others on order at the moment. I've got some super-bright LEDs i'm planning to put on as headlights, and have some FPV gear arriving for xmas, hopefully...

Don't they work good?
They make the arms on the frame easier to break and can make the quad tipsy haha. I had some similar legs.IDK, they look pretty cool.

as George says, they do make it a bit tipsy - unless you have very clean landings it's possible for them to trip the quad over onto its nose. They're also a bit heavy compared to those white plastic ones.
Weirdest thing though is that when I'm flying and it's near-silhouetted against the sky, it looks like a wire-frame cube, and a couple of times i've had that optical illusion pop into my head, where you're not sure whether you're looking at the cube from the outside or the inside:
... and when you're flying l.o.s and it looks like your quad is pointing straight at the ground, that's rather disturbing !

Hahaha, I thought only I had that problem. My aluminium one looks like it is driving strait into the ground when you get tripped up. Almost looks inside out.
Bought a new flying camera today...couldn't resist, they came down in price and they threw in a hard shell backpack to boot!
Hahaha, I think you will really like it.
