Nice frame kit but too weak.
Advantages :
- Aesthetics
- Electronic protection
- Complete frame kit
- Good price

Drawbacks :
- Weight
- Fragility: carbon is far too fine for arms
- No spare parts

The trick to solidify the arms is to put a flat washer on the furthest's arms screw. It will spread the impact of a crash.
So it is "beautiful" but technically, HK needs to redisgn!!

Have fun with it ;)

Very good quality build and I enjoyed every minute of it. Make sure you Loctite everything tho and its got aluminium standoffs everywhere. A little fiddly when assembling but worth it! I like the fact that the chassis is the roll cage to protect your internals too. Gopro mounting is very difficult, I was a bit worried that the battery mounting up high on the built in tray would make it top heavy but its all good :)

I was really excited when i saw this frame and keen for it to arrive. Opening the box and no instructions????
If i had no experience this would have been very hard to build. The arm set up looked good till i started trying to fit them. A "i wish i had three hands" build. Once completed i struggled to fit the electronics in. I like to fit my Acro Naze in the 3D printed boxes, which does not fit if you put the side protectors on. I ended up supergluing mine to them.
Will it stand up to multiple crashes?? Time will tell?
I have buily many many helicopters and quads, and this by far is the Worst build i have ever done. Would not recommend it to anyone:(

Overall its a nice frame. Much more durable then I would have thought based on material and thickness. The anti-vibe plates are mostly useless. Originally mounted my FC on the middle plates but kept getting oscillations and it was impossible to tune. After some research, I decided to mount it direct to frame and the oscillations are gone. The other plate(camera plate?) Is on the wrong side for a camera. The front should clearly be the thicker, more durable end of the frame which is opposite of that plate. Took them both off and rigged up a mount for the camera in the front.

Really nice looking frame, I wish it was like the one shown in the video but is quite different, this one has an anti vibration plate in the back???, although depending on pilot preferences it can be set backwards and install the camera on that plate, either direction set looks good though. Assembling is not as easy as other frames but easy to figure out despite the lack of manual. Flight test was phenomenal, it is extremely stable and flies just like is on rails, using DYS 1806 2300kv motors, multistar 10 amps esc, 6x3 gem fan props I got outstanding 13 minutes of flight times with 3s 2200mah lipo. Overall really happy, nice design, amazing performance, this is a must have mini quadcopter.
