Super easy V-tail quad arms.

Some of you may be more interested in DIY than others. 

So, if you are looking for a way to spend as little money as possible, but still look awesome, follow me!


I cut out some 12.4mm x 12.4mm arms from an old 2"x4"with a table saw.  This way you could always have daisy fresh arms whenever you need them.  The width and height depends on what center frame you are using. I'm using the Bat Bone frame, so 12.4mm fits perfect.

I used one of the arms from the Bat Bone tricopter kit for mock up. 

IIf you just needed new arms, you cut them to the right size, and have a nice flight!

If you are building an awesome V-tail quad: Follow me.

The V-tail quad motors need to be mounted in an angle on the rear arms. If you follow Flite Test David's video he says that 40 degrees is perfect for the KK2 board.

Using some sort of tool to set angles and degrees, mark your arms, and cut them to the set angle.

The lenght on the slot depends on how big your motors are. 

Mine came out like this, before some filing. 
You need two of these.  

 If you didn't do it earlier, now is the time to cut your arms down to size. I'm using one of the Bat Bone kit's arms for mock up.

To mount the motors I'll be using double sided tape, and some zip-ties.

This depends a little bit on what motors you are using but most motors will be able to mount with zip-ties. 

Now all you need is to follow David's instructions on drilling and mounting the arms. 

The video you'll need is in the "Related articles" at the end of this article. 

And mount them to your frame. 
I'm using the Bat Bone frame because it looks awesome.
