New Here? Introduce yourself!

[apjohnson]

The frame is now completely printed, I just need to source the real parts for it (motors, etc.) I keep looking the stuff up that I want on HobbyKing, but the stuff I want seems to be always backordered. Is there another good place to source components from?

Wow a quad made from a 3d printer! Love it. You will have to take lots of pics of that build! There are a lot of guys that can help you with the components you will need but weight and dimensions will be necessary for anyone to give you some good input. Start a new thread for this fun project! Here is our multi-rotor section on the site! http://www.3drcforums.com/forumdisplay.php?120-Multirotor Can't wait to see how it turns out!

[MENTION=2862]apjohnson[/MENTION] try over in the quad thread. You'll find that the staff here keeps information pretty well organized so threads stay on topic. I realize you are new, hence the suggestion. I am definitely not the guy for quads but you may find more answers at Forums/ Helicopters/ Multi rotors. There were actually more threads there than I thought. There's even one on parts available in the US. Good luck.

What's up everybody? Joined yesterday, I'm Brandon from Lebanon, OH and belong to Miami Valley Radio Control Club (MVRCC) where I currently run the FB page for them. I have been flying since 2002, my dad got me into the hobby and I started with an old Cub that was my dad's powered by an OS 10 that had a max altitude of about 15 feet. From there I worked my way up through the plane ranks to 50cc aerobatic models, from there went to a 35% Carden Extra 330S and then sold that for a H9 3.1m Sukhoi. I have competed in IMAC since 2006. Got out of the hobby for about a year in 2012-2013 pursuing a different hobby, but in the end, enjoyed RC too much and got back in fall of 2013.

My current fleet/equip:
Spektrum DX9 Tx
Proto X quad
UMX SBach 342
UMX Mig 15 DF
UMX P40 Warhawk
UMX AS3Xtra
Fancy Foam Yak 55
Parkzone T28 Navy version
Hangar 9 Carden Edition 89" Extra 300 Mid Wing
