Walkera 60 carbon fiber frame

The original frame can fit larger servos wit a few modifications . But because the frame doesnt't "suport" the servos(the back part of the frame is cut-out), they tend to tilt inside the frame.

The original design also allows the servos not only to tilt but also to vibrate during flight and agressive manouvres...
While the new carbon frame design will be able to accomodate larger servos, it will also eliminate vibrations due the fact that the "gap" of the original design in the back part of the frame will not be cut out anymore.

Also for more access to the reciever and due the fact that a servo mounted on the tail offers much petter steering precision the front servo mounting spot will not be built anymore.

Here are the current release candidates.

The first pic uses as servo holder two aluminium arms.

The second and most probably the real release uses a single cf arm for both the servos and will most probably come undrilled to fit the multiple servo types.For the time beeing the length of the arms is 14 mm(2 get lost in the thickness of the frame) and the height of 24 mm for the hitec 56 servo.

The third holder design greatly impacts the frame resistence
A) is not very different from the first and few users would actually benefit from the design.
B) allows easy maintnence but is not as precise as the second holder.

I'm waiting for your suggestions.
