carbon & steel

carbon fiber is too thin to handle moderate crash but is handle power well, steel is to big and heavy.

Excellent value for money

This kit cost less than the price to buy the 6 CF arms. It assembled fairly easily with just a small amount of filing to get a snug fit of the motor mounts to the arms. Also, a copter of this size is most likely to be used with a camera gimbal, in which case it would require much longer landing legs than are included, (8 cms long), and would provide a more central mounting point for legs.
However , in summary it is an excellent starter kit for a larger format hexacopter.

Fixation review

tube lock is tricky, reverse screwing 2 turns on a 1mm plate (to be found by yourself) to increass diametere enough so tube can fit.

No brainer

Bought 2 pieces on sale. The plan is to make a XY8 configuration (basically a hexa with two missing arms), using double arms. Even so, it must be lightweight for an octocopter!

Good quality carbon fiber and very lightweight. There is no assembly instruction inside the pack (or may be i have not received it). BTW, I test it with 920 KV motor with 8045 prop. I have enjoyed my first Hex-copter flight without any damage.I forgot to said that, i used CC3D flight controller and multistar bheli 20A ESC. some headless nuts are missing which are important, i used hot glue for this purpose.

Thanks Hk

Good frame, don't forget to thread lock the screws. Only complaint I have there isn't any room on the frame to mount anything. I manged to squeeze a gopro on the top, and put the esc on the arms, but it looks bad. I fit the battery underneath, but now I can't put a gimbal on it. Anyway, overall it's a solid frame, but I'd look at a tarot 610 or something instead.

I have been using this frame for about 6 months now and I am VERY happy with it. It is my first 'non-toy' size frame and it has served me well. It does however have some limiting factors so I will list the pros and cons as I see them.
Pros:
Very nice looking clean frame. Happy with the build quality and its looks. It's goes together easily and the flight characteristics are stable and balanced. Kit was complete with nothing missing/damaged/other. Booms were the same length and straight.
Cons:
A screw hole on 1 motor mount threaded when tightening to a boom. So I have put longer screws and nuts on all. I highly recommend doing this to ALL motor mounts where it meets the boom. No issues after that. Space - you run out of it. The gap between the top and bottom plate is only enough for wiring basically and I have since added some extra surfaces to mount the FPV gear.
Tips:
Longer screws and bolts on the motor mount plates where it secures to the boom. Lock-tight all screws. TAKE YOUR TIME putting it together and read the instructions. It is easy to put together but do it once and do it right. Protect the surface that you are building on, the landing gear will scratch it.

I would recommend this frame to anyone looking for a first one to learn on, but you will outgrow it. Saying that, I am awaiting a FPV250 frame which is much smaller and I will keep this as my mid-size frame.
Hope

This is a great looking kit. Don't be thrown off by the small box. The only thing that would make this better would be a larger diameter main hub. It's really small, so fitting anything other than the flight controller on there is difficult.

If you want FPV or a camera, buy the Tarot 680 kit. There's too much missing here to recommend it.
