Title: Hobbyking Bixler 2 modifications, wing and flap servo lead mods
Post by: themit24 on May 16, 2013, 09:40:05 PM
Hi guys
          Was getting sick of throwing the bixler 2 in the car fully constructed as i couldn't be ar#*d constantly fiddling with the y leads for my wing servos and flap servos and then trying to get the wings to go together without trapping either of them inbetween. Then there is the screws!
So I searched youtube and saw a guy do a mod on a super skysurfer and ended up doing something similar.
Im working on something now to avoid those stupid screws which go up throught the bottom of the fuse.
Here is a pic video of my mod.
all the best Steve

This is exactly (well you've done yours more professionally) what I do with all my bixlers (I stole the idea from Flyn).

Works really well too... they should put this into the actual Bixler build :)

Hi and thanks form the comments obviously great minds think alike. Just a shame the designers didn't think about it when they designed it.
The motor is the NTM Prop Drive 28-36 2200KV / 696W.
All the best Steve

Hi coyote
             I have just done a mod to get over the wing screws which never seem to go back in the same way and i'll be posting it soon.
All the best Steve
