Mounted the tx module on the back.

The camera is a 700tvl Sony, on a pan servo.

Tracker will be a skylark att modem.

OSD will be a Cyclops Breeze.

Just need to get the rest of by he bits soldered up and ready to use.

I really like the mini Skywalker.  Super portable, and flies exceptionally well.

GPS installed...

I love silicon for these jobs.

Secure enough to hold it tight.  Easy enough to remove if work required!

Spent a few hours this pm getting all the wiring done.

Great news.  No filter needed.  It all works great :)

Last bits to do now are to install the push rods, and to check the GPS tracking works.

Should be airborne soon .

Thanks.

Learnt a fee lessons on the first one about how to save space!

I look to be able to fit a 2200mah pack in this version!  But will provably stick to 1100.  Less weight helps :)
