High Five

That would make sense. For comparison - ZMR250 and Demon Ghost arms weigh around 10g, which makes around 12g difference in AUW.

Over the weekend I will probably tape one of the arms to the thrust stand to check the "thrust" difference measured. Because science Big Grin

Yep!

Aluminium isn't that heavy compared to carbon fibre composite.

That's the thing. Because metal has the same strength in any direction, you don't have to add metal to increase strength like you have to with carbon fibre.

Anyway, my motors and 4-in-1 ESC arrived a couple of days ago, so I might start a build (and thread) for this at the weekend. Or maybe it'll have to wait a while as there's a threat that the daytime temperatures here might be over 20C this weekend and that might tempt me to go flying instead of sitting inside building.
