Out of the ashes...

[FPVSteve]

Those of you who spend way too much time on here might have noticed my thread where my beloved Wild Hawk ended up on top of someones roof:



When I got home, the damage was, you might say, problematic:


Even the wife insisted (amongst laughs) that I buy another plane to replace it and I reluctantly began scouring Hobby King. However, this WildHawk and me have been through some sh__ together, we've fallen into ditches, we've been in trees, we've landed in my car boot. But most of all, we've shared some tender moments together at the kitchen table - just me, Wildy and some duct tape...  mm baby.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yea - I can't let it die.  It's like my first born, my first FPV craft and dammit it's gonna fly again ;D

SO - out with the pizza plates, hot glue, cocktail sticks and TAPE!

First off, I had to trim the smashed foam, and rebuild the fuselage walls. It fits perfectly, no gaps here, no siree.... :D


Then, I decided to add some more strength by sticking my pan mount on a big bit of pizza plate, er, depron, and hotgluing it on.



Then - we TAPE!


Then - we realise we buggered up, so it all comes off - electronics are rearranged and then we TAPE some more :D


Then - we have a shiny, new plane which WILL FLY AGAIN! Hopefully upwards ;D



Not bad for two hours - and me and Wildy will take to the skies once more! Away from houses though heh.

if you look at it that way, anything is indestructible if you keep fixing it.

You're one sarcastic git lol  :laugh: :laugh:

[Shikra]

That is no way the same plane. I suspect you replaced the airframe with a brand new one.....
Pretending you fixed it. Like we'd fall for that!

the picture of it broken, look like a shark attack, I recon Coyote's Skywalker looks similar to that wherever that is, I think you should be saving your pennies for a new frame Steve.
I think its served you well, but I think its time to retire that poor thing.
:goodnight: :flagUJ: G
