Frame:
Based on GLB’s „Airframe Kit Super Strong Frame for QuadCopter“ ( http://www.goodluckbuy.com/f450-airfram ... kk-mk.html ).
Modified: longer metal screws M3x10mm (original too short) + many extra plastic spacers (so the FC can be mounted inside the frame), foam legs = heating pipe isulation, 2 x pinewood 6x6x75mm painted black (under the Naze32 board).
The LiPo will be on top of the frame (easy handling), the GPS receiver holders are flexible (in case of crash) .
This construction can take hard landings eg. on sloping / rough terrain; GoPro Cam is protected in the original housing.
