Plastic versus carbon fibre: kingkong quadcopter

The kingkong 260 quadcopter two-frame kit from Banggood - which includes two somewhat awkward but complete frames, 6" props, hardware and a mini (untested) PDB, all for A$38 - it's a pretty good deal, until it isn't.

The plastic is so brittle and offers near zero horizontal flex - where it matters in an arm-first crash - resulting in a fragile frame with very little absorption of shock without causing irreparable damage.

Unfortunately a buddy and I flew our numerous quads, which saw us get the 6" King Kong 260s out, which resulted in this:




Yup, 3 of the 4 arms on each quad are fine, just fine .. the others; not so much.


"iforce2d" did a review of the frames, see them in more detail on youtube

  2. It is really a good quadcopter. The image shows the difference between these two- plastic VS carbon fiber. Of other self flying drone, kingking quadcopter is not so brittle and free from much possibility to damage.

  6. Drones that offer this level of functionality are expensive. To test their usefulness in your industry you can rent an appropriate drone, complete your mission, return it, and determine whether purchasing the drone would be a profitable investment.drone reviews
