Custom wooden H frame I built from maple and walnut. 290ish mm, flying HQ 6030 props. She's a little chunky with an auw of 520g, I think I'll ditch the walnut arms for maple or poplar. Future upgrades for fpv and 4S are planned.

Neat! It does look heavy, but that's a unique twist. Too heavy for FPV gear?
520 grams is with a 2200 mah 3s battery, I think if I drop down to 1500 4s I might break even when I add fpv. I'll have to do some research on battery /camera/transmitter weights.
Yeah, 2200mah is too heavy for a rig this size, but how many minutes are you getting on it? Got any footage of this flying? I'd love to see it.
BTW, have you shared this on reddit? I think you might get a lot of interesting feedback. It's quite unique.
Flight time is great, possibly at the expense of less snappy maneuverability. I get over 10 minutes of moderate zipping around the back yard. You'll have to link me to the right spot on Reddit to post it. I've never used it before.
