What happened to the Electrohub kits in the store, I can't find them?

Kind sad, I know, but I believe there are just better options now... The VersaCopter is probably a better design. You can still buy the parts:

I only just recently blew the dust off my Electrohub tricopter, and updated it with new ESC's and a new SPRacingF3 flight board, but yah, I'm afraid there just isn't much interest in the Electrohub stuff these days.

Yeah they pretty much all converged into the Versacopter design. Kinda why they went with the name I believe. There are pre-drilled holes in it to make a quad, hex, tri Not sure on octo but I am sure it could easily be modded for one if need be.

The Versacopter doesn't make a great camera platform. That the the beauty of the Electrohub platform.

Hmm, I've not seen it done, but it seems to me that the Versacopter frame should be adaptable and it might even be possible to set it up with the same accessories as the electrohub, like the FPV rail system:

In fact, it's listed with it in the same category:

https://store.flitetest.com/versacopter

Looking at the plates:

I could see large legs being able to be attached (including the wood dowel types used on the electrohub) with minimal cost. I could imagine larger legs, a hex setup (the plates support up to 6 motors), a camera/gimbal system mounted on the rail, etc.

While everything makattack said is valid, I do think Flitetest should cover this aspect of the versacopter platform a little more. It has been a while since FT has done something with a larger size frame that was for more than lifting a large payload. I do understand though that miniquads are more popular these days and that scratch building larger multirotors is less and less common.
