This is my first tighter build after only building Martian II frames before.
My main idea was to get it lightweight while not spending too much money and use parts which are easy to get. For example the motors have been chosen just because I use them on two other copters. So I don't need too many different spare-parts.
(As you can see on the photos, I had bad luck with the motors. They are clones and no genuine EMAX)

First flight. After a half pack, the copter had a Roll of Death and fell about 10m into a soft field. Seems as if the frame broke just due to the weight of the motors. Nothing else is even scratched...
Tough luck. Frame breaking on the first crash is not a good sign of its tensile strength.. At least you can transplant to a new better frame of the same size and shape!
Yea, I am currently checking which frame to choose. Maybe a lantian200plus.
