My first attempt at building a light weight racing quad. Was aiming for a dry weight of 250g, but ended up with 280g. I'm pretty sure I could reduce it by another 10-15g or so by removing some of the niceties, e.g. capacitor, buzzer, wire mesh etc... and replacing the hardware with titanium ones, but I'll live with this for now. :)

It feels like the weight is in line with the size of the motors. Good job!
