    Time I can't help with. But metal casting I can. Brake drum forge, with coke or charcoal as the fuel and an adequate air supply (the fan for a car interior is probably best for this, hair drier suffices for most forging work though - seriously) you can melt aluminium quite effectively. If there are any machinists in your area you can usually get the aluminium swarf from them for free, should smelt nicely.

    I've got a few hobbies. I play ultimate frisbee during the spring and summer. I'm also the drummer in a small rock band and first drummer in our school's jazz band.When I'm not busy (which is pretty rare now) I play video games, mostly GTA V, Titanfall, and BeamNG at the moment. I'm also doing programming and shop work over the summer for a small entertainment company that builds flight simulators.

    Did you crash it? Or did it break mid-flight without hitting anything?

    You could have designed it with some sort of break of point. It looks like the white piece that the propellers are on mounts into a bigger, black plastic piece. I woulda have designed it so the white arm part would break easier than the black piece that everything ties into.
    But whatever it's your project do what you want.

    that one I think is just a tad weird. I personally quite like Y frames (just not that one) but I think I'll start with the normal quad at first.

    Anyway, multicopter money is needed elsewhere for now.

    Looks like it should be pretty tough to smash up that frame :p i think anything connected to that should become a failure point whether it likes it or not.

    Did get a hobbyking parcel today. Switch wired inline with XT60 connectors, some XT60 to tamiya adaptors and a 5v 3.5A UBEC. Ordered that on may 24th, lesson learnt, don't use the HK international warehouse.
