Rickety Bones Cubical Quad Spiders
Performance by Design
The images below are cubical quad spiders that I custom build and offer for sale on the web. I only sell the spiders because all of the other material needed to asyemble a quad is available to everyone using common everyday items. For more information on building a Quad look below the photo gallery.

Thanks for stopping by.

Building your own Quad is SIMPLE, If you follow the directions here on this page you will find that when you complete your QUAD, It WILL flat out work. Please resist the urge to modify your Quads design based on what someone says or suggests or something you have read on any of the online fourms as they are mostly full of usless, wrong and unsubstainated results.

Signal Engeering has been the best source for correct information I have been able to find to date, If you follow their directions on building a QUAD, I can GUARENTY you will end up with something you will be very happy with.

I can custom build ANY combination spider you wish, please contact me for spefic info and pricing.

My standard Quad is designed to used with a boom with a outside diameter of 2.000 inches, I have been using standard radiator style hose clamps for the past 2 years now without any failure what so ever. You may use any clamp of your choice as I do not include these clamps with my spiders to try to keep cost down.

My Spiders weight in at 3/4 of a pound, This light weight and minimal surface area keeps rotor and wind loading at the absolute lowest numbers possible.

I use flexweave wire for my wires, I have found this wire to be perfect for my Quad, here is the link.

I also sell boom stiffners and mast to boom mounting plates, all of my stuff is alluminium for strength and weight savings.

I sell standard spiders for $40.00 each + Shipping
