New Quad X-frame

Nowdays I'm learning to fly my  quadcopter equiped with a Hobbyking i86L Multi-Rotor Control Board (Lite Edition). It's a very cheap board, quick and easy to install. This is a temporary, but fast solution for me to learn basic flying skills. When autumn arrives I'll focus more on my arducopter port project.

I noticed that my mid section that is holding the arms was not strong enough. Also the motormounts broke on hard landings. So I did a little rebuild of my frame. As the I86L is also multiframe compatible I change my frame from + to X. When mounting a camera (in the future) a quad X frame is a better choice then a quad + frame. My mid section is now made out of 2 large 15cm alu plates. The motor mounts are made out of 60x30x2mm alu plates.
