Hello Everyone-
Still a noob with RC (just found FT last Sep.) But have already taken the FT Flyer as our favorite "Grab and Go" flyer. Problem is, I'm pretty hard on the powerpods.
So what I've done is designed a replacement to be cut out of 1/8" plywood. You can find design notes here; https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839796
Anyone who has access to a laser and wants to provide feedback (or even those who don't and still want to provide feedback) heck, all comments are welcome (did I mention I just started last September?) My goal was to make a power pod that would survive an afternoon of me and my friends flying. LOL Later on, (when we stay in the air long enough) COMBAT! I used a tab system to mount the wing assembly to the Powerpod, the idea there is make up several wings and field repairs take just seconds to swap out.
Yes, it is a tad heaver, but I'm running 2205 motors (great $5 find on Ebay) and they have plenty of punch!
