Looks good but when you refer to the pipe as 1/2" or 15mm is this the outside diameter or the inside diameter, I ask because it looks bigger than 15mm, and I just thought 15mm might flex a lot  :smiley:

Gaza07

The 15mm pipe we use here would be to flimsy and would bend to easy, there has been a few pvc copter projects here but they have used electrical conduit or over flow pipe which is stiffer and around 22mm

you can see the pvc quad here http://www.multi-rotor.co.uk/index.php/topic,74.0.html
