That's great, got a video of the custom frame in the air perhaps?

Edit: what material by the way? And what do you think of 3d-printing for drone parts?

Unfortunately I don't have a video of his frame - My goal is to get one at our next meetup. It's hard to capture because the thing is zipping around so fast!

My videos (trying to iterate on getting better cinematic quality) are at www.vimeo.com/bnzelener

I believe his frame is CNC'd steel. It's really malleable, so when he crashes he'll just bend the bent arm back into place. He uses SunnySky 2300kv motors, KissESCs, a MultiWii flight controller, and a 1300mAh 3-cell battery.

Got a confirmed answer - he uses aluminum.

And on 3D-printing, YES - this guy is making awesome progress: www.hovership.com. I have one of his MHQ V1 frames.
