Sorry for not getting to you sooner, been sick with the flu. I cut the vinyl to the approximate size of the individual pieces, stuck it on, and then used an xacto knife to cut it to the exactly size of the frame and to cut out all of the holes. Then repeat for the other side so that everything is fully covered :)

Hey man!

Thanks for the information! I will go to a local sticker shop and try the same. :D

Your build is absolutely sick though!!

Combined with their width they should be as strong as thinner arms using 4mm thick carbon. The guy that designed it is the one that designs all the nice Armattan frames and when asked about it he said that he tested a lot of variations and this final design was as strong as the 4mm design but quite a bit lighter.

I did have a very hard crash at full throttle and bent the carbon right at the motor, but the way it seemed to have hit it probably would have outright snapped a thicker carbon. Everything has its ups and downs when flying at high speeds :)

Thanks for the reply! Do you use this frame more for racing, freestyle, or just for anything? And is the carbon the same quality as the high end Armattan models?

I don't do any racing at this time, but I wanted to fly a light build with a ton of power and see how it flies compared to a high power higher weight rig, my Rooster build. It is much snappier in turns, takes less time to build up to speed (which is also faster than my Rooster) and still seems to have the same 'throw' around obstacles, though since it is lighter with the same prop size it has a lot more hang time when dropping throttle while in the air. I was really surprised at just how much of a difference of 150 grams would make!

Thanks! I think they're 13 or 14mm across.

Got the vinyl from swingdesigns.com
