For the contruction of the quadcopter’s platform I used the free 3D Software SketchUp by Google: www.sketchup.com
As arms I used 1.5 cm square tubes and 1.5 mm GRP platter as sandwich platter:
– Aluminium square tubes from local store
– GRP Platter
To get two identical platters I glued the platters at the borders and cut out simultaneously the two platters. After finishing the GRP platters I measured the square tubes and cut them to the same length. Now I drilled holes into platters an tubes to assemble the pieces finally.
Finally the platform is ready for installing the motors, ESCs and the ardupilot APM 2.5.
It looks cool. Did you finished it?
Cheers.
