A quick'n'dirty CAD drawing...

A project log for Hubsan X4 Replacement Frame

Love the product--fun, safe, cheap, easy to fly. The stock frame works and is light enough, but I want to make a few tweaks. For science.

I'm planning to 3D print the white bits, so I'll spend some time improving their shape (and generally improving the awesomeness factor of this design). This shows the basic concept; everything is sized roughly right (although the span is a bit wide compared to the actual X4). Battery mount will be (somehow) integrated into the hub.

Don't worry, the eventual model will feature less beefiness on all the nylon bits. I don't want to add too much weight. Oh yeah, and the whole motor mount setscrew deal--you know, the whole reason for this project? I'll add that too.
