I've always liked the GepRC frames, even if some of them are very close to where "inspired by" and "clone" are hard to separate. The Leopard frame caught my eye recently for its downright good looks and very robust construction. So there's now one sitting on my bench! The question was, what motors could possibly look good on this frame? Enter the Cobra CP2207 2450kv - Golden Edition! The build will be called "Blingquad!"

Let me guess, it cracked where the screw holes are counter-sunk? • Posts: 5,319 Threads: 673 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,031 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 (09-Oct-2017, 07:13 AM)unseen Wrote: Let me guess, it cracked where the screw holes are counter-sunk? yes and the top holes too Posts: 2,286 Threads: 38 Likes Received: 1,527 in 995 posts Likes Given: 1,881 Joined: Apr 2016 Reputation: 72 Thought so! Unfortunately, a countersunk hole in carbon fibre is just asking for trouble.

I did find the perfect propellers for it though: GemFan Master Series 5045 bull nose triblades! They will probably push the ESCs on my all-in-one flight controller to the absolute limits, but it will be fun to see how fast the Cobra motors will go with these very aggressive propellers.
