I ran the gps cable through the fuse to the tail and taped down the cable in the tail section
Will have the gps on the rear tail, far enough away from everything

Then I ran the cable for the TX through the fuse to the OSD

I then velcroed the trusty Blackstork, (yes I said trusty, never let me down once and the gps always fires up withing a min)
to the fuse along with the current sensor and new Corona that Gary had done the antenna and RSSI mod to, I know the Blackstork doesn't have rssi but I was going to use the CEOSD in the plane but it was working well in my Easyglider so I decided to leave that the and have the osd from the Twinstar
A bit of a mess though

I then velcroed the bec, I used an *amp bec for this operation, 6 servos in this bird, never be too careful

A little tidier

You can see how much room there is, this is a 5 amp battery and the fuse swallows it no probs

This is the new pan and tilt from SPC Carbon, mutz nutz

Cool, like the gps being well out the way, your lucky with the blackstork i hate mine lol. Ah i see now its not getting fitted :)

My god theres loads of room in there its huge !!!!

The P&T looks nice too :)

Hows he vtx going to sit ?

bignose13 · January 11, 2011, 02:16:44 PM

Ian
theres a place on the fuse boom which is level for it to sit on

bignose13 · January 18, 2011, 04:10:48 PM

Who can tell me whats wrong with the 2 pictures????????

:wallbash:

Coyote · January 18, 2011, 04:16:55 PM

The nuts are the wrong way round ?

bignose13 · January 18, 2011, 04:20:03 PM

Yep
And guess who's just glued the fuse together ????
Sometimes I just excel at being thick
Not sure what to do now, either glue the rear stab on or get some longish self tappers and screw down the stab
Ideas anyone!!!!!

Coyote · January 18, 2011, 04:31:05 PM

Lol oh dear, we all have these moments :)

Ok, they are supposed to be in the other way round, but, the thread will still be the right way, The teeth would have dug in, so i`d put a dab of glue on the outer edge so the nut doesnt move then use screws as normal, even the foam being bridged over it "should" make it hold well
