It's definitely unusual... Do you know it's weight Cam... Hey Lee, it might float... Now that could be handy... :D :D

The cable channels in the arms are good. The two ESCs are crammed below where the naze is mounted. The afro ESCs would fit better.

The 4 small holes are M2. Ill need to find some M2 nylon bolts to mount the naze there.

Move over Star Wars or BattleStar galactica. Cameron has a new craft in the making and he's looking for a race! Very nice, good luck and keep the pics coming. That's going to look awsome.

Are you putting the FC on top of those 2 ESC's? Will there be enough air flow to keep them cool?

I'm thinking the heat off the ESC's will heat the FC up too....

Lol thanks DOG!

I'm not sure Tony. That looks the designed place for them, see the cable channels running from the motors into that wee space. I agree its tight.
I think Ill take my time with it.

Any suggestions welcome tho.
