Sorted now, how did you fix your motors? On that type of model (mine have wooden arms) I put mine on with double sided tape and cable ties, gives some protection from vibration and from crashes.
Have a look at Simplecopter';s videos on YouTube, Matt demonstrates why they are a good idea - the way he flies it must save him a fortune!
For example:

Looks like some fun...on the beech....looks simple enough  :) All that open space ....good old nuts and bolts!

I think the homespun frames can be every bit as good as a bought one, quite often much better. At the moment I';m sticking to plywood plates with softwood arms, dirt cheap fairly durable and easy to replace if you do manage to break something; best fun I';ve had since I started flying multis.
I also like the KK2 fc, simple and does the job for what I want.

Motor fixings on that quad are BA nuts and bolt. I do like the unconventional though.

Having said all that, with the cost being so small for a frame in the mini H config i will be using my time on flying and not repairing................... Did i just say that!

Prays to APM sticker....and touches wood......




I';ll post some better stuff as i can. Quite a bussy week coming up.

happy flying!
