Re: Brent's Bamboo Quad (The BBQ) - how to build a cheap, lightweight dx quad

Hi Guys, I couldn't resist having a go too and the results are amazing.
A good 2-4 S units increase over the tank whip, and a great crowd puller emoticon

Thanks to Brent for the inspiration.
Here it is on it's first flight...

Cheers, Mark.

brillant mate.you would have pissed yourself watching me trying to get mk 2 up and away at last weekends FB meet.at took best part of 4 hours of graft mixed with cider and ended in me spitting the dummy when the boom conector twisted in half.
no pain,no DB gain.....well no gain this time.but i got D.B ..... Dry Bummed by the boom connection.

look forward to hearing you on your quad mate.
