Re: Wooden frames...

I saw a video of someone flying this frame. He lost controlled at about 1m above the ground and one arm was broken. It seems pretty cheap.

Re: Mounting GWS EP props

There's two way, with a prop saver and with a prop adapter.

In this item, you get both, they are for the KEDA motors.

The blue part with the O-Ring is the prop saver.
The biggest chrome part with the nut is the prop adapter.

You can use a T-Reamer to enlarge the hole in the prop.

Re: How to connect ESC?

I heard that it's better to power the Arduino board from the receiver. You take a red wire from a use channel. This way, you will have a fail-safe function. If the RX gets in Fail-Safe mode, it will shut down the arduino board and your motors. If you power the Arduino directly from the ESC-BEC, even...
