Just finished a new machined 6" frame.
The first one was 23 grams for the frame but was a little spindly so I made a few more out of 6mm thick carbon fiber plate. The result I am quite happy with because it is only 32 grams for the frame without compromises- very stiff and no resonance.
Build list:
32gram custom frame(my own design)
Tmotor 2203.5/ 1500kv motors
crossfire nano
vista with nebula pro(not naked)
flywoo mini gps
axii antenna
gemfan 6026 biprops
Depending on the setup, you can get quite light. The frame with motors and AIO fc was only 140 grams...

I tested it out for short flight around the house last night and it flew really nice!
