Hi Christof

Looked at this thread after a long time. Excellent work!
Couple of questions
1) How do you machine the CF?
2) How do you ensure alignment between connectors on the central hub and those on the detachable arm
3) What safeguards do you use to ensure motors point vertically up?

Finally the machine is up and flying well.
Todays flight:
