    Is PCB as the structure a new thing or has that always been a thing?

      There are a few PCB drones out there.

      Most PCBs, even really cheap ones, are made from FR-4, which is a very robust fibreglass. It’s would be a pretty decent choice for drone components in general.

      Not drones, but Carl Bugeja on YouTube makes some fascinating machines almost entirely out of PCBs (although he uses a lot of flex PCBs, not just FR-4).

        I’ve seen some of his videos and thought it was a relatively new service offered by these custom pcb companies.

    Seems like a fairly good option.

    I was looking forward to this kickstarter, but it’s been months without a launch so I’m thinking it’s just vaporware at this point.
