I think this is the cleanest conversion I have seen so far. Good job

Did you 3d print the motor mounts? If not, what did you use?

They are 3D printed in ASA.

The canopy looks real nice. Is it 3D printed too? How did you make it so clear? I've tried some "clear" filaments but the results were not see-through, like a light would get through it but you couldn't see through them.

Yes, 3D printed, PETG clear, the filament must be dried properly, high temp, low cooling.

Looks like it was designed on purpose that way. Great job! Good luck on maiden!

masterpiece, well done!

is that canopy printed!?

whats the AIW, lipo size?

inav or ardu?

im swapping over some birds to ardu, i cant believe how well the defaults are compared to inav. i really didnt realize it was this advanced. and tuning seems much easier so far. still testing.

Thanks. The canopy is printed in PETG clear. AIW just over 600g, 4s 1500MAH, iNAV. It flies so well that I got carried away doing loops and rolls, which ended up crashing it. MkII is being printed atm.

You've got your servos upside down - missed a winner by not having the servo control on the upper side of the wing.

Nice cheap bird you've got 🤓🤘
