FPV wing build thread

I really like building and experimenting. When you work from a known good base the results are often quite pleasing - but sometimes terrible.

I should probably mention that I layed out all the parts on top of the wing before I did any cutting. I tried to place them all so that the C of G would come out in the right spot, I knew this from previous flying. This meant holding on the elevons bateries and the motor with some temperary tape for the initial jugeling act. I then marked out the position of each item so I could cut them in.

There is a 10hz update GPS reciever on board, these work on 5ghz or there abouts and are quite sensative noise. I wanted to place it far as from the VTX as possable. It's power comes from the same suply as the camera OSD and VTX. A seperate source from the Motor and ESC. This should help reduce noise as well. It's located just in front of the RC reciever, on the opposate side to the VTX. This is much the same as the set up I used in my EPP FPV power supply wise and even further seperated phicially as far as GPS and VTX goes, so sould it should work OK. Every thing was fine with that set up, tested out to 500m but should have worked to close to 5km, Not that I want to go that far. However I feel you need a bit of a safty margin for these things, after all it's a tenious link between flyer and plane at best.
