    Not too bad Mr Kermit, not too bad at all.

    Another fine video Mr Kermit, covering all the days happenings (and mis-happenings) @ the Field.

    Not sure what has happened to Mr Sinker’s video, he is running very late this week.

    Thought it was about time I got back in to FPV flying again.

    Its been a long time between flights with the “Prowler” but after cleaning the dust & cobwebs (take note Scott) off I decided to remove the FY-41AP autopilot & replace it with the much smaller (and far more featured) MATEK FC 411-WTE running iNav.

    As the Prowler already had the slimline Pan/Tilt gimbal & 600mw VTX fitted, the upgrade was relatively straight forward.

    Given that the iNav system is way smaller there was no issue fitting it where the old system came out of.

    I think it all checks out Ok (but it’s easy to miss something in the iNav setup) so I guess Wednesday will be the test.

    Ah yes, but proving it to the “Frog’s” satisfaction, well that is another matter entirely.

    Nice video & I usually don’t take sides but ….
    regarding the comment Kermit Ramming Me (from another angle), I’m sure there is a rule that states Power gives way to sail – just sayin”

    Yet another fine video from the Toad Hall Productions team (of one).

    Looking just like the original Ron.

    in reply to: Another Wing for the collection #14354

    Today, just as the weather starts to improve the Wild Wing is finally completed.

    Fitted the fins to finish the top.

    and fitted a modified battery hatch to finish the bottom. I needed the battery slot to be deeper to accommodate some of my slightly larger 3S 2200mAh LiPos but I didn’t want to remove any material from the wing. especially round the nose area so I 3D printed a TPU Flex battery holder that hangs out of the bottom of the wing slightly then cut the hatch material to fit around it.  All is protected & battery installation is easy.

    Now all we need is a flying day to maiden her.

    Finished mounting & testing the motor & ESC today & 3D printed the top cover to tidy it all up.

    Found the “Original” Wild Wing logo on line so after a bit of tidying up managed to print (well cut actually) one with the Brother Vinyl Cutter.

    Also got the electronics finished & the stabiliser & Rx installed along with a test battery.

    COG appears to be spot on according to the online measurements without any corrector weights.

    Now just have to decide on how I’ll do the bottom hatch cover as I don’t particularly like the supplied yellow corflute one.
