It was just too heavy to put a camera on here. With 11 inch props I still couldn't throw it around like I wanted to. My friend cut out the pieces for me and it does fold, but the process takes too long and is just tedious. So time for an idea sparked by Flite Test!!!

Laser cut base plate.

Thanks to my older brother for helping me design these brackets. I had never used any 3D modeling, so that was a bit to learn.

It's just fascinating to watch for some reason.

I hope to be using this extensively for this new frame. The props and arms were always in the way on the old frame.

I had seen it in my head, but it was great to actually lay it out and get it to work.

Well kind of... Nothing was glued or bolted in yet, but this was just a test to help me visualize it better.

Fresh from the 3D printer. Cleaning off all of the support material took a long time.

Just have to glue it all in place.

The H-frame was designed to be about the same size as the old one, but with portability in mind.

Now with the new KK2 board I got I'm going to start the transplant. I don't have enough parts to keep them both in the air.

That Go Pro on the front just looks great.

It's kind of sad to see the old frame go...

The 3000 mA LiPo battery did alright on it. It gives it about 8-9 minutes of flight with the Go Pro on the front. That's the same time the old aluminum frame used to get without the extra 200 grams on the front!

Much easier to lug around with my transmitter now. Makes flying it more fun.

It was really tricky to get good pictures at night with the Go Pro. Most of them came out blurred. I guess I'll stick to just taking freeze frames from the video

Joey was watching the feed from the Go Pro's WiFi through my tablet. Kathy was just texting.

So if the cars were blurred that much, just imagine how the rest of the pictures turned out.

That night I had two 3000 mA batteries so we got about 17 minutes of flying around the campus.

The bright LEDs on this might be a little distracting to the students trying to study during midterms and finals.
