    Romulus
    Retired

    On a lark I bought two, just to see how they work, at 8$ per frame, I can afford to buy many if they work out.

    Our Hobbyking order has finally arrived. So the frame kits for Romulus and Remus are here, these photos show the unassembled kit - they were a steal at 7$ each.

    RD17 Frame Construction

    This frame went together very quickly, 20 minutes, no tools, without glue, some glue is required I just have not done it yet. Pretty good for $7, nice hobbyking! Frame assembled

    RD-17 short lived - RIP

    So I built out RD17 yesterday, motors, escs, KK board FC, Guai 8inch props, on maiden, the motor ripped the motor mount out and ate the entire arm. props never broke, but ate the wood, so this project is now dead. Note to self, a 7$ frame made of plywood does not work well in this lab.
