This quad was on sale a couple-three weeks ago. Another RCG member said they take forever to get here like everything else off AliExpress, but they're genuine so I took a chance and got 2 of them for $32 with a $5 coupon I had for other purchases... I figured I'd wind up with a couple "China Fiber" CF Veneer quad frames; at that price, I really didn't care. Now I wish I'd bought a Lotto ticket that day, too!



And now the nitty-gritty.



They're GENUINE, 100% CF. "Branded" Mystery on the little Xeroxed assembly sheet. They have pretty good QC; thickness of arms varies from 3.1mm to 3.2mm; surface is very smooth, semi-flat finish.



I have done continuity test on every piece in both kits; they conduct top to bottom and end to end on all sides, even the feet.







Weight of all CF parts (Less feet) : 99.51 gr







Weight of all frame parts, including hardware (Less feet) : 138.87 gr

Feet





























Edge closeup of a lower plate showing clean cuts and tight, thin layers.







Edge closeup of an arm showing clean cuts and tight, thin layers.







The only actual blemish I could find on any of these parts is that two arms from each kit has slight scarring like this; I think they stack them and put a screw through all of them to do final sanding on the edges.



AliExpress has a $5 coupon for new member sign up; so you could still get these for close to the same price I did.



Awww, HULLNUTS! It appears I was mistaken about the $5 off coupon for new customers; the only one they have right now is a $5 off $100 coupon.



Sorry about that guys; I can only blame sleep deprivation at the time I posted this.



Still a good deal for $20 clams delivered, though...





Good luck!!!
