the frame is heavy for the multistar babybeast combo, maybe better with the 2216-800Kv combo

The frame went together quickly without ant problems. I'm running afro slim 12a ESC's with baby beast motors on Naze32 FC. The vibration isolation works great. The only thing I changed so far was to cut the legs on the bottom in half. I figure they'll hold up better if there is less leverage on them in a crash.
The only problem I have is on bumpy landings. Anything less than a perfect touchdown causes the upper frame to lean because of the rubber dampeners, and the 5" blades are very close and will hit the aluminum struts. Not too big of a deal as I want to make longer arms to try out 6" props anyhow, as I need about 60pcnt throttle to hover without FPV gear. So far I've only tested it indoors because there is 6' of snow outside, and I'm a terrible pilot.
To all the people complaining about only having 4 solder pads: You can put more than 1 wire on a pad. My front esc's share a set of pads, and my rear ESC's share a set of pads leaving free space for my UBEC and LEDs on one, and battery leads off another. Hope that helps.

Frame is around 185 grams, which to me is a bit heavy, also the entire top half of the frame is supported by rubber standoffs which makes it bad in a crash, just be ready to search for all 8 of the rubber mounts because there are no extras. Also the power distribution board has no spot to solder in a battery lead. Fairly sturdy for the crash that I was in though.

Just built my first mini quad today (My fifth multi-rotor) and it was a breeze to put together. It is a nice frame and is holding up really nicely. I can recommend this item!
