Here is the bottom plate with Ugly power distribution hub .
Actually this was not preplanned, But while searching for some thing else found This copper clad board in my junk box  Grin , Took a permanent marker, drew that artwork (May be it is modern art) by hand - no any pre plans, just drew a track. - Put in Ferric chloride (Have lot in stock !!) - Had to fight with mom for getting a ceramic plate and boiling some water from Kitchen  Giggle .

 Drilled it Last day and put it all to the frame yesterday (New year eve !!)

Now motor mounting - I am still satisfied with zip ties Smiley

placed a little double side foam tape just below motors this ensures motors stay put, and also reduces vibrations considerably.

A small hole is cut on the foam tape to allow motor shaft free space to rotate - thought there is no much protruding motor shaft, it may brush with the foam tape while mounting tightly.

Had a flight today with a KK5.5 board, used the same trimming setup in Tx, that I have been using for the first frame - I had to set very high trims on elevator and rudder then, the quad showed tendency to flip on lift. So just centered all sticks, and again done trimming it level , happy to say it needs only one or two point trimming (For the old frame - used very high trims)

Is this because frame is balanced Huh?

Still I need to apply a little more trim to yaw right, the quad has tendency to yaw to left - why is this so ?

Tanmay, thanks for your efforts Smiley, but that is a 20mW Transmitter and we need to add antennas.

I have got a deal on ebay for 5.8GHz 200mW 8Ch Tx+Rx at 32$ (~2000INR) - Now have to arrange money Sad

Nice build Sooraj  Clap Clap Clap

I liked your coat-hanger landings skids  Salute May be its a better idea to change their orientation assuming your quad is facing towards the Yellow Only/Or Black Only directions. Hope to see video soon.
