Inspection of the plastic parts.

After some holidays I am finally back to work. The first task was to check the size of plastic parts and test their resistance to shock and traction.  I have noticed that the carbon tubes and the holes of the plastic parts do not fit as they have different sizes. Although this is an easy problem to solve by using a proper drill to increased the holes of the parts. Thus for further reference the tolerance of the holes must be increased by some millimeters.
The plastic parts are well resistant to shock as there is no visible damage when dropped from the second floor of a building to its ground floor. This test is also known as naive test :-). They are also well resistant to traction as the nylon thread used on the traction did not break the plastic part.
Therefore, the plastic parts we are using are suitable for the construction of the quadcopter. Now I'll have to order the other parts to complete the frame.
