  • i purchassed the boom armes at home depot. they are 1/2 inch and are 3 foot long. they can be found in the trim area. Lowes has them also. these were cut to 14" but i also have a tri with 20" arms. its just what you like. the longer armes make it more stable. the plates were cut from 1/8 plywood from Michael's craft store. it was $3.99 for a 1'x2' sheet. i used a jig saw and stacked up 6 cut pieces to make 6 plates. check trimcraftaviationrc for best price on nuts and bolts. i used 4-40 1"

  • take a look at the 2.5 build pictures. there is a shot of the board on the uper plate and it hangs off the sides.

  • Great, thanks for the info. I am preparing my build. Waiting for the electronics to arrive from HobbyKing. Will post video of my maiden flight. Thanks so much for posting these videos!

  • Actually I found out the questions I asked. Only remaining question is; what is the length of the arms? Thanks.

  • This is absolutely great!  How did you construct the main plate? Also what length are the booms and how were they constructed?

  • Like it! Let's see some GoPro footage from it.

  • Amazing, love it :-) Thanks for sharing :-)
