Wanted to play around with angled arms on a mini quad so figured it was a good excuse to play with openSCAD some more.

I keep modifying the design as I fly and crash this thing so this is very much a work in progress. For the most up to date files be sure to checkout my github project where I've tracked the development. I don't always update the files here with every little change since I make so many so often.

I've built and flown this in several variations and confirmed it's a pretty fun little quad.

I fly and recommend dRonin because I love it's autotune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi2mD9ud1Dk

First flight with the original PLA center and acrylic plates ended about how I expected it to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omgCTNPuFOI

The new PETG center and lexan plates have proven VERY durable and are why I now feel this is finished enough to be worth sharing.

I've posted an Instructable with details about this build and more details on making your own which I've also entered into the Drones Contest 2016 - if you like this even a little I would really appreciate your vote! http://www.instructables.com/id/Ultra-Budget-Mini-Quad

You can also find even more details about the design and build process on my forum thread at Flite Test where I documented this project as I worked on it.
