Swapping delaminated arms for Kevlar

The old quad arms were coming apart, so I pulled them off and tried a set of Kevlar replacements.

The old arms were delaminating, so out they came.

I stripped the quad down on the cutting mat, moved the motors and hardware over, and installed the Kevlar replacements.

At that point I did not know how they would hold up. Build it, test it, find out.

Out with the delamination arms, in with the Kevlar arms. I hope they hold up well! #fpv #fpvracing #sendit #positivity #pirofliprc #practicemakesperfect #multigp #droneracing #floss #6S
