First build | Durable micro frame recommendations.

[Greg2B]

I recently had another crash (or set of crashes) with my Turnigy Micro Quad breaking one motor mount on an arm. I went into more detail on my blog post on this site if you want to see the video. So to not waste the parts I have which are other wise in fine condition I decided to do my first build using the parts I have already.

Not trusting my self to build a frame from scratch I'm looking for a “durable” frame, since I'm sure I will crash again. The two places I'm looking at right now are.

Both look like they will work with the electronics I have.
Turnigy T1811-2900kv Brushless
Turnigy Plush 6A

Are there any other frames/places out there I should be looking at? Am I missing any other obvious thing since I just started in this Hobby? I don't really want another Integrated PCB from HK since that seems like a lot more soldering then I want to attempt quite yet. Though if it's really a better route to go then I may look into it.

I'll be working this week to desoldering all the connections to my current frame. I'm hoping in two weeks I can have my new frame and be ready to build my new quad.

Thanks for any help.

'Ecks Frames' has a single-plate mini carbon fiber quad available.

I am getting set up to cut one of these.

Thanks for the suggestions they both look like good frames that will work with what I have. I forgot all about Ecks, one of his fpv videos was one of the first I saw on a mini a quad. I wonder how long they take to ship to the U.S.

I'm guessing two weeks, that is IF he has it cut and ready.
