Very interesting frame material. I'm interested to know how well that will withstand a few crashes. Have fun!
It is quite durable. I had to kill my motors at aprroximately 25m above ground to take the copter "safely" down. Crash landed to asphalt and rear right motor arm took the heaviest hit. Main chassis broke a bit in front of the arm but it is still usable. Making calculations with these known numbers the impact force was over 1kN and impact speed almost 80km/h. Chassis itself is still usable but all of the bolts of the spacers were bent.
