FPV Raptor

[ffinybryn]

Although it was my original intention to FPV my Bixler, I am now using this for training and have purchased an FPV Raptor to do the job.

The stock Servos and ESC were replaced as standard.

During assembly it became apparent that the nuts/bolts were not up to the job and one of the wing nuts was seized.  I took the opportunity to replace the standard 3mm bolts with M4's.

In addition, I have replaced the camera mounting for my Pan & Tilt camera and completely overhauled the central tray by adding a layer of 5mm ply.
