This post is embarrassingly overdue... I built this up almost a year ago now. It is the successor to my first AQ, a Y6 which until I tried to upgrade the motors, which led to , which led to a full rebuild. Soon after the build it became a test subject for a DIMU prototype (which led to the released v1.1). Then it was winter, and well... here we are, almost June.

Built using UAP2-v1 parts from Rusty (AGL Hobbies), 330x16x1.5mm CF arms from FlyCarbon (legs are x1mm). And some ESC holders I cut myself (saw and drill baby, no fancy-schmancy CNC here ). Still some touches I'd like to fix, eg. the LEDs are just tossed on there and the Rx antennas are a bit exposed for my liking. And the balls need some color. Pics are from last year, but not much has changed.

It can fly with 11, 12, or 13" props. I switch 'em out depending on the load. For initial testing and setup I used 11" props and lighter batteries. With 12" props it's ready to carry a decent size camera/gimbal. The current config with 12" props and no payload is a bit overpowered, but the only real downside is that it's a bit touchy on the throttle stick. I haven't tried 13" props yet, so that's still theoretical (eCalc says up to 5Kg for 50% throttle, and 10min flights).
Here's part of a flight from a couple days ago, 12" APC MR props.

And another from last July, with 11" Gemfan CF props.
