Hi everyone!

Would someone mind sharing details/images of how they're holding the horizontal stabilizer on without glue? So it can be packed up easily for transport...

I've seen a photo by someone on RCGroups that shows some sort of nylon screw...

Cheers and happy flying!

Any thoughts?

I suppose you could sink some tubes down the fin, and screw it on like its big brother.

Hello,

I am building a Mini-Skywalker too, but was planning to NOT use the rudder. Does your MS with the FY21AP indeed use the rudder? Or have you left this off?

I wonder if the FY21 can still stabilize flight and do its other autopilot functions with just the ailerons and elevator/

Thanks

Hi Hangerrat, the MS with the FY21 has a rudder fitted. I'm not sure if it will function without it.
Good luck with the build, you wont be disappointed, my SW with the FY21 and AP117 is brilliant, I fined that I use it the most.
please post up your results on hear, it will be great to see how it comes out.

Thanks G,  I might go ahead and connect up the Rudder.  I was trying to keep weight down, and the first pass is including a Nova OSD. I found a lot of folks using the Nova on this little bird are NOT using the rudder. Hmm, we'll see.

I bought two of the MS, for backup parts, etc. And because they're cheap! But I might just fit out the fuselage #2 with the FYAP, then be able to swap out the top wing/motor/esc combo.

Thanks again, great info in this thread.
