Zephyr II build

[Jameskibler]

I've decided to take on a zephyr build, I bought the lot from Asomaro on here and he'd already started some of the build. He's joined the two halves, installed the motor mount, run some cable lines, cut the battery bays and installed some sweet LEDs in the leading edges  :) Oh and he's installed the battery box too.

Main flight electronics:
- Ritewing motor and ESC(65A) (Old version)
- 2x Hitec HS645MG servos
- 2x 3300 turnigy nano tech 4S's
- Ez UHF 8 channel Diversity receiver

FPV electronics:
- Immersion RC 600mw 5.8ghz Vtx + Flyns Skew
- Eagle tree OSD pro with Guardian Etc..
- Sony Super Had 600tvl Camera with OSD 2.8mm
- GoPro 3 Silver for recordings

Nice mate, may I make one suggestion? I'd put a 8chnl Diversity UHF rx in there as this bad boy will be long gone before you even get your goggles on!

[Jameskibler]

I was thinking to switch the receivers with the skywalker,

Changed :)

Also, is anyone else having trouble uploading photos?

[Flyn]

good lad ;)

yeah photos are screwed just now, use the attachment button below text field - use lo-res

[Coyote]

Use the bottom link "Attachments and other options" or Use photobucket or imageshack which is a better way of doing it anyway

[Coyote]

Looking good

Just finished laminating it now, First time laminating a plane so was a bit nervous but its turned out pretty well  :)

Just need the servo extension cable to arrive so i can continue now.

Do anyone on here print stickers for beer money?

[Jameskibler]

The bank balance has taken a bit of a hit:

Carbon vinyl wrap (couldnt resist  ;D)
Eagle tree setup - OSD PRO, GPS, Elogger, Guardian
New nano tech battery (one was fairly puffed and just want to be on the safe side)

The wrap should be here for the weekend with the battery and the servo cables which should keep me busy  ;D

For the meantime Ive pushed the exposed motor shaft to the other side and bolted it on to the mount.

[Jameskibler]

Glued the camera box in tonight, will be adding some vinyl around covering the joints.

[Jameskibler]

Carbon vinyl's on now, this turned out a bit better than i expected!  :)


Bottom:




Ive sorted all of the wires ready for the Eagle tree gear arriving. The ET stuff will be housed on the left side (right in the picture) and the UBEC battery and power cables for the ESC housed in the right side (left in picture)

Looking good matey!!!

[Jameskibler]

Removed the carbon vinyl today and opted for a different look  :)





The camera box and hatches are all finished now and STILL waiting for the ET gear to arrive  :-[ so i can finish the build and maiden..

I love the carbon look, but in all honesty, the second "new" look in my opinion suits it more
