Hi all,
Now i have build my first quad out of balsa wood and am slowly getting the hand of crashing it sorry i mean flying it. i am now looking at building a better frame.

Im building a H frame 450mm x 450mm and have two options
1) aluminium tube ( 15x15x1.5 mm walls)
2) carbon fibre 12mm round 1.5mm wall

I need help on which one to go for.
 
Tough call, ally would be cheaper and less likely to break. But CF is light and really really cool. Haha.
 
Hi all,
we'll I've gone and made my new frame (number 3. 1/balsa 2/plastic conduit) and now ally U channel (10x8)

also added a set of nav lights and a 15 LED light bar to the front :)




 
Carbon is great, aluminium i s easy to work with and a lot easier to make connections and joints.
