Hera are a few of the picture from the FoxHawk build, in this picture I removed the canopy and cut away the poly hump that holds the canopy on.



then I hollowed out under the canopy, to holed a 2 or 3 cell 330mah lipo



then I removed a section of fome from the base of the fuselage, and hollowed it out, to fit the RC and a giro, that hasn't arrived yet, it also meets up with the battery compartment, this will be how the battery is fitted, when the canopy is fixed back in place.



I fitted one of my motor mounts, this one is a upgraded version, its a little bit stronger, and I mounted a Turnigy 2211-2300 motor



I then cut a hole just under the trailing edge of the wing for the mini servo



on the canopy I have a small 5.8 VTX and a mini wide angel 5v camera, that are both powered by a 160mah lipo, that slides in a hole in the side of the canape, I have fitted Velcro on top of the flight camera so that I can mount my HD key camera.



hear it is finished.



and hear is its maiden, as you will hear in the video, there's a bit of beeping for trimming it up, but it flies great, i'm really happy with it.
I also FPV flow it, strait after and it was great.

Education and schoolin is good, but FPV is gooder :)
