The frame appears to be cut? What did you use to cut it if so?

I've been waiting for someone to build this frame! The build looks SO good! You mentioned that you ran the esc wires in parallel? Just so you could run 8 motors from 4 d-shot outputs? How does it do verses an X8 with 8 D-shot outputs? I have a 4" X8 Tomoquads Katana LR that I custom rigged into an X8, but I used the SP Racing H7 mini (Which on a side note has 12 motor outputs!) and built it with 2-20mm 4in1 esc's. It flies pretty good, except Yaw is so lethargic until you put enough stick input in, and they it yaws way too far. Very weird, and I don't know a lot about tuning that out of an X8. I've been considering robbing that FC for another project, but contemplating running the esc's in parallel. Man, I'd LOVE to see some footage from this!! Kick ass build, absolutely love it!!

can it handle Gopro H10 without battery?
I'm about to design a tiny octo like this, but can't decide which motor and battery is best to lift GH10

Wow! How's she fly?!

Sick build! What flight times are you getting and how did you wire up the 2 ESC boards?

nice! the throttle control is going to be amazing. that battery is going to cry.
