Title: Drill aluminium square pipes??? Help! Post by: hyd_quads on February 27, 2012, 10:24:03 AM Hi. I am making a quadcopter. I have purchased aluminium square pipes from rcelectro.com (great service from rcelectro :hatsoff: ). I want to mount my dt700 motors on these pipes. And I guess I am sure I have to use a rotating-drill (not impact!). What mm hole do I need to drill?
