For a moment it actually looked scale in size tooThe Mustang received a landing gear upgrade on the latest repair. Shock-absorbing struts. Added about 10 grams of weight to the plane.

Great flight man!!! I think you're landing way to fast though... Do you have flaps? That plane should float in a bit more gentle like... Just seemed a bit fast... I like the video and song choice tooI need to play with the Mustang some more. Last time I flew her, she still seemed unstable. I managed to get her back onto the ground safely, but cut the flight short. I'm wondering if it needs a bit more nose weight or something.
On the flip side, I tried a different camera mount for the Stinger. I rather like this view better than the belly-view I've been using.
I see... Yup, gotta do what ya gotta do to keep her looking good and back in one piece...No flaps on the Stinger. At that speed, she's descending with the nose up, and I've found she settles in nicely that way, with little to no bounce. On approach, I'm throttled way back, and by touch-down, I'm at little to no throttle, to help minimize sucking grit through the fan. I used to taxi the Stinger on the ground, but after about 10 flights, I had some noticeable dings in the fan. I'll still get some from the take-off roll, but I figure there's no point in adding to that by running the motor on the ground, when she's easy enough to carry.
Main fuselage assembled.

Thank you. This looks like the design I saw on the internet. He assembled it home made. But used pvc pipes. Same box cover. And he assembled the electronics part with it. Does this quadcopter go pretty high? And do you know a lot about electronics? He was from India or some other country, but look like an India guy.A while back, my wife's boss was working on some cool adjustable height chair-desks. One of the desktops he'd cut, had some minor chips on the top, along the cut edge, which made it unsuitable for his final product. He put the blemished piece out for the trash, and I decided it was much too nice a piece of wood to send to the landfill. I grabbed it, thinking I'd figure out a good use for it.
I decided to install three short, adjustable legs on it, to use as a helipad for RC helicopters and drones. With the adjustable legs, I can level the top surface so the gyros can initialize properly, and it'll keep the craft up out of the dirt.
I still need to do a bit more sanding along the cut edge, and then I'll likely give it a coat or two of polyurethane finish to seal and protect the wood.
