Crazy flyer/crasher :D
Hey guys,
the day before yesterday a nice package arrive at my home sweet home
That included a small wing! It is actually called the Hacker Skyfighter, but it is quite comparable with the Hobbyking Bonsai!
Only differnce is that the Bonsai is about 600mm wide and the Skyfighter is only 540mm.
I bought the wing as a combo directly from the manufacturer with a 5A Speedcontroller and a tiny 2900kv Motor.

Soo all it comes with is all the small parts like pushrods and control horns and so on, but everything you need is just glue, 2 servos, receiver and battery.
I use 500 mAh 2S Lipos for this but I am going to need more of them because my Event flies with them as well! Might go up to 3S with the Event though.
Anyway here are some pictures to show you what all this looks like in terms of building. Pretty simple but I thought I´ll post it here anyway for anyone being unsure.
Soo with the package there were the motor and the ESC as shown on the picture below. The good thing about the motor is that they give you 3 different mounting crosses (or however you might call them) The black one the right is the one you use. (CFK made, very stiff ). Then you have 5 different rubber bands to attack the prop which also given in the package to the motors propsaver (the propsaver is built in as well!) Then you have the ESC. 2mm gold connectors are on both the motor and the ESC so they match perfectly and you can use your time more useful. The only thing you need to solder is a connector between the ESC and the Lipo. I didn´t even have to solder that because I got some of the JST plugs that you make up yourself and don´t need soldering.
Then here the actual wing. Nice sporty desing in my eyes. And a A5 manual with nearly only pictures.
Actual building here now. The servoholes were already made so it was no problem to get my 4,4 g servos in there. The length of the servo wire was nearly perfect and didn´t need any soldering either, which is nice. The only thing I needed to do is to put a 6mm depron piece under the servo so that the servoarm would just reach out of the hole. But that was a matter of 5 minutes.
Now here are is wing glued together.
The motor mount is also quite easy made. Just a block of foam which is precut to fit the wing.
Thats a picture with the servo pushrods just attached and that white plastic piece near the motor mount is going to get glued to the motormount so that the motor can be hold to it with 4 screws to it. There were 4 tiny holes premade but didn´t match the given motorcross or whatever. So I needed to drill 4 new ones. Actually I just used a screw to drill the holes with a little bit of pressure, because I couldn´t be asked to get the drill from the garage. Worked nicely though.(Sorry for bad quality picture!)
