Materials::

  1. Rotors… Rotors are nylon for cost considerations, unless thrust response is too slow with the flex of these rotors. If response is too slow or thrust is too low, carbon fibre blades can be used
  2. Rotor assembly shaft… Shaft can be of hollow carbon fibre or aluminum (archery shafting)
  3. Rotor motor mounts assembly… ABS or Nylon plastics, held together with stainless steel screws/bolts, attached to shaft through deformation or bolt-through design

Components::

  1. Motors… 2808 1760kv x 8
  2. ESCs… 30Amp SimonK Afro x 8
  3. Propellers… (6)7x4 folding prop sets, (2)7x4 non-folding props
