I need arm measurements lol (see what I did there? ) If you just so happen to be bored, have a ruler or digital caliper and a drone within arm's reach (damn, I'm on a roll, I know), please consider taking a measurement of the thickness and width at the middle of the arm. Doesn't have to be precise at all. I also need to know the prop size that goes with those arms. I kept this in the Mini Quad forum since I'm mostly interested in 3" to 5" quads. So something like (from an Apex): 5" props, 6mm thick, 12mm wide For science!!

Or I'm gonna do more dad jokes ... to twist your arm. If you do some more dad jokes, I’ll set an alarm/reminder to measure all of my 3”+ frames later today. Okay, I already set a reminder, but I’d still like some jokes. Dangerous operations. Disclaimer: I don’t know wtf I’m talking about.

Just trying to build up a set of data points is all. I'm coming to appreciate that so much of a frame's performance is informed by the arms. And hey, even if it is totally unusual, if it works, then it's good data. (31-Aug-2021, 01:53 PM)Lemonyleprosy Wrote: Okay, I already set a reminder, but I’d still like some jokes.
