@soorajp. Use screws only to connect mounts and motor. Connect the whole thing with zip ties to arms like in previous pictures. Zip ties have more than 20kg shear strength. It's some other problem causing problems.

@miginstruments. U can buy aluminium tubes in sp road.

The zip ties will tear before the shafts bend, if your quad crashes. I use zip ties. There are two types of copper clad. You need to get the FR4 one. Usually the substrate has a greenish tinge to it and is translucent.

It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,

Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,

That form ever follows function. This is the law.

everything is in plan - and will be updated along.
A multiwii flight controller with GPS  is currently being built .
Always in the look out for a cheaper deal in 5.8GHz 200mW FPV transceiver.

Now I am upgrading my frame to metal center plates, As I got my SMPS burned last week Bang Head I will be using its box (hard, light weight ) for center plates, got it cut in to shape today.

Really nice. Your DIY skills are impressive. i wouldn't dare scratch build a frame for my first quad. This set looks good: http://www.quadkopters.com/product/fpv-kit-and-accessories/fpv-kit-5-8g-200mw-av-txrx-system-with-sony-ccd-420tvl-camera/
Sadly it's out of stock. 4950 is a good price since a similar set is 54 dollars on Hobbyking without the camera.

9500!! WOW! Only my kit with frame, motors, ESCs and kk 2.1 was that much. LiPo, transmitter, charger, and accessories were all extra! What is your complete setup?

well this 9500 is managed by getting transmitter, LiPo etc... second hand.

Here is the setup

motors : 4x XXD 2212 /13t 1000Kv with two pair 1045 props : 2000Rs
ESC     : 4x simonk 30A for 1800Rs.
Flysky radio and receiver FS-T6 for 3000Rs.
LiPo - 2200 mah 3S 30C : 700/-
KK 2.0 : 1300/-
some other h/w and stuff : 500.

well this even don't sum up 9500 - have other expenses too -
But I know altogether I spend around 10K .

New bottom plate with fiber glass PCB (the old plastic center plates bend easily
Stronger motor mounting
And new yellow props - thanks Arun eattan (Arun.sreelakam)
So today I made the first RC Air Show in our college - Proud of that !! (even though it was mainly hovering around the ground and inside our auditorium - No much acrobatics as I ain't an experienced drone flyer Giggle)

Main attraction is Landing skid from Shirt hanger - Found out the versatility of these - can be used as prop guards too. Thanks Akhil eattan for this idea.

It seems, there is lot of interest in my other thread - DIY multiwii FC, And many people asked is this quad currently Flying with that board -
NO - I am currently flying the above quad with KK2 board.
Multiwii is tested on this quad - but not flown too much.
Now I am gonna get back to my DIY FCB.
