    I had a KK blackboard collecting dust after installing a KK 2.0 board on my tricopter so I decided to make a cheap simple quad.

    I used the following power system.

    Turnigy 2204 motors
    SimonK'd plush 6A esc's
    1000 mah 2S battery
    8x4.3 props

    The frame is made out of fan fold foam that I milled on my phlatprinter. It isn't strong but it is very light and easy to repair.

    Ready to fly weight is 266 grams.

    The small square bit is a power distribution board made out of some very thin copper clad glued onto a piece of 1/32 plywood. Attached files quad.skp (166.7 KB)Â

    Did you paint over your distro board? Drop a screw or paper clip on there and it might go up in smoke.

    It does have a thin coat of ca glue over it. This guy runs on only 2 cells and the only screws are holding the motors on.
    Next up is to make a prop shroud for indoor flying.
