Mr IPeel what can I say, you nailed it. I am extremely chuffed with the camera bay cover its awesome. Great fit, really tight and precise, have got the morning off tomorrow so will have a proper fiddle with things, but it clicked it perfectly.

Thank you very much, fantastic job.

Cool, glad it fitted right, looking forward to the maiden!

The maiden should have been a couple of weeks ago but I have been fannying about trying different things. Was going to run this with a storm osd but just couldn't get it settle properly and it just didn't feel right on the bench, so am going to try sticking an eagle tree pro osd in it and see how that goes.

What bolts have people use to attach the motor mount? I don't have any lying around that are fit for the job I dont think. M4 or M5 work?

Got all the cutouts done in the wing today, now need to solder up some wires for the longer runs to VTx and Rx. Will wait and use the solder station in work though as its too bloody cold in the shed!

I used M4 bolts, they were tight but went in without drilling.

Cheers guys! Progress is a bit slow at the moment but hoping to get her in the air over the next few weeks! I have all the bits required now, apart from time!

Nice flight out with ipeel, loads of gas left in the tank.

Looking good, but I'd get that esc out the back by the motor so it can get some cool air

It was fun, but only a quick hour after work. Once the evenings get longer it will be more worth while.

Linear, I've not found the need for circular

Brucey went cruising ladyboys with Trappy in Hong Kong, and got a TBS tuned Yagi as a souvenir; it performs really well.

Lol! Ahh long range ladyboy cruising, sounds like quite the afternoon was had! Yeh I also have a TBS yagi and what a difference in reception! Really impressed.

And a TBS Groundstation the same as him to boot, is your antenna tracker called Chris too?
