Hi Atom,
Happy to give u a hand. I have build quite a few of these platforms,( six platforms) and contribute to at least one development platform, I am assuming u want to use that as fpv/recording platform. Tri/quad's are a bit low on redundancy , would reccomend hex or octa, which would give u a bit more lifting power :) Please drop me a note if u need some assistance.
Regards
Anish
