| actually mike when i finished it i was just curious if it could take any impact at all.the frame is so stiff i cant twist it at all,so i took it outside and just threw it hard across the yard.all it did was just bounced a few times and rolled around till it stopped,not scientific,but it satisfied me it could take some abuse.
while i know a loaded frame is much more likely to destruct,im still happy with it.the g10 came from msc and a 12x24 sheet was 16.00,total cost was 27 to ship it.you can make alot of parts from a 12x24 sheet trust me.id wager 6-7 full frames in either 200 pro or plastic style.at 13.00 50.00 and 85.00 a whack 27.00 and my time seems much more worth it to me,plus if it does break im only down long enough to come in and whip a new piece out and install it instead of having to buy one and wait for it to be shipped to me.
thanks for the positive input so far guys keep the opinions coming.
as far as other interest i posted on rcgroups wattflier and helifreak.hf gave alot of views,but no one asked anything so i have to assume no interest.

... but your new frame is Very Cool and has me re-thinking that.
