Sorry if I did not answer … I got back yesterday from London by plane.
I must say that is a beautiful city …
However, today or tomorrow I think it’s the final day to buy all the components!
I will use those that DiaLFonZo has posted for me.
For the structure I thought the easiest for now: the aluminum tubes.
But I still have gaps … So forgive me.
The transmitter is good 6 channel?
It is best if it is programmable via PC or not? (I will use the MultiWii)
What I have to use batteries for the transmitter? hobbyking.com/hobbyking/stor … de_2_.html
Thanks again.

EDIT:
Your new structure is beautiful, I’d be curious to see it fly.
You will use the components that you gave?
A simple split clamp will save machining time and assembly time. It would be a hassle to have to remove the entire boom or remove the motor mounts to replace an interior clamp.
Also, I’ve found that delrin, although a little heavier, is a great material for this sort of application.
Your helicopter designs tantalize me and at the at the same time make me jealous because I have no time available to pursue them. The simple elegance of your designs is amazing. I noted Alan KMV66’s and Marcham’s comments about the clamps. I have a different question about them.
Allowing that I do not have the experience or depth of knowledge of any of you about strength of materials, distortion, or clamping friction between the parts: Would it not be possible to save 50% of the weight and cost of the clamp bolts by eliminating all of the bolts on the solid sides of the clamps and using bolts only on the split sides?
This would mean that some clamps would have to be reversed (e.g. Instead of all motor mount clamps being split facing left, the outer clamps could be split to the left, but the inner clamp splits would face right. This would maintain the necessary positional balance across the mount surfaces laterally, longitudinally, and diagonally. The same would hold true for the clamps at the central hub. And the two-hole single width clanp bars at the landing legs would be replaced by double wides.
If you are already well along into producing clamps, this might save money and weight without changing or wasting what you have.
Now please design something I can afford and then teach me to fly it
I think it may be possible to do that.
Would need to keep my design with only one side open.
I don’t think it would cost less or more since i was planing to drill the hole on the top (to pass the screw) myself in a press drill.
As far as weight. The thing is very small. Last version use 25mm height by 0.25in.
I don’t know what is your price range.
Do you have a simple RC (Heli or Plane) 4 chanel transmitter ?
It is not that your helicopter designs are expensive. It is that all my other hobbies (garden railroading, astronomy, barbershop singing, robotics, computers, photography, videography, et al) are expensive. So this new fascination you present me will have to get on line competing for my funds. However, multi-rotor helicopters appear to be edging their way toward the front of the line.
I do not yet have such an aviation RC transmitter. I do have an old VEX (robotics) transmitter somewhere which may be temporarily usable for learning to fly, if I can find it.
… So forgive me.
