Just starting my first KRAKEN!!!!!!

[Epic fly guy]

I printed of the plans for the Kraken past week and I just decided to pull them out to day and see what I could do in a half hour and this is what I got. If anyone has built one yet and has any tips that aren't in the video please share.

So far so good!!! But I'm running out of foam board and need more it is a lot more than i expected!!

I cut my third one out tonight and will assemble tomorrow. Keep the cutout drawings in good shape for the next one. This time I am sheeting thin wood ply to make a battery compartment with a simple door and a latch to keep it closed.

Use heavy duty servo extensions especially between RX and ESCs. I mount my RX in the rear of the #1 pod. So far it has survived three crashes. I can send you the program file with diff thrust if you have a spektrum. You really don't need it, but it is fun practicing to fly with one engine.

If you run LEDs around the spar a 500mah 3cell 11v will last 30 min. That's for white, not sure if color makes a difference in power consumption.

Keep posting pics!
