Good result, well done.

The return of Frankendrone…
This is the Eachine Wizard X220S I converted with a load of 3D printed parts to use a DJI Air Unit, then sold on ebay only for the numpty who bought it to return it as it had no receiver, battery, or controller ( the ad specifically stated the Air Unit etc. were not included 
).
Couldn’t be bothered to try selling it again, and as I had a spare Air Unit after fitting a Polar Vista to my Chimera 4, I decided to rebuild it…now with added GPS

Here’s something I never expected to see…
When stripping down my C1 Chaser wing to reuse the parts, this ‘cross’ mount at the back of the motor was broken in three places
In effect, only held on by one mounting screw 
Monkey metal…
Started build my ‘new’ C1 Chaser wing today, re-using the parts from the first incarnation.
Only planned change at present is to use 5G8 not 2G4 for the FPV feed.
I only plan to use it for ripping round local fields and improve my flying, I’ll keep the long range stuff for my Sky Hunter.
Learning by previous mistakes, I’m adding a full fuselage 3mm plywood base with battery straps position for 6000mAHr 4S2P Li-Ion and 2600mAHr LiPo. the wood will also provide better anchorage for other kit, glueing to side wall on original build was not really my best idea.
Glued in with ‘Gorilla’ glue. I find it works best with wood to ‘something’ though you have to be carefully with the amount and placing it as it foams up with the moisture activate and can get on stuff not intended to

finally removed the old set of wires (broken connector) for the GPS on my GEPRC crocodile baby. First soldering ever. Photo is of before, forgot to take a snap of the after. Removing and putting back that vibration damper was almost as much of a head scratcher as the soldering itself.
Looking forward to seeing this in the air.
