Spyda 500 Quadcopter

Create a "spider style" Quadcopter. ideal for FPV flying to keep the props out of shot.

It is also much easier to keep visually orientated in the sky.

Two versions of this thing :

1. A central plate for the stock DJI 450 Flamewheel arms or you can print an optimised one supplied (without support).
2. A central plate for the Crossfire printable arms (included) from MikeyB. Plus I include a re-mixed thicker version of these arms if you want to increase the plate distance.

Props are positioned on a 500mm diameter circle, hence the name.

The central plates are large enough to mount a variety of components. See my remixes for extra mountable components, eg GoPro Flexy Gimbal, standard GoPro mount and accessory pack

1st flight test video with a bit of FPV in there :
