** Update 20 June ** Version 2.0 During a redesign I failed to add any down angle to the pod. Version 2 has 10 degrees (as stated in the first description...) I apologize to ANYONE who printed one of the earlier versions and had a poor flying experience. I did add embossed text to indicate which version (servo size) the pod is. So in summery; PowerPod_V2 The original one - piece Pod for Micro Servos PowerPod_V2_Split Same as above, Split for smaller build areas. PowerPod_V2_9gServo One piece PowerPod for 9gram Servos. PowerPod_V2_9gServo_Split Same as above, Split for smaller build areas. Any other input is welcome! (Let's see builds/Maidens!) ** End Update ** ** Update 16 June ** I originally designed this for micro servos, but have had a request to design it for 9 gram servos as well. An issue also came up with the build area so I have also split the design at the battery tray. So in summery; PowerPod The original one - piece Pod for Micro Servos PowerPod_Split Same as above, Split for smaller build areas. PowerPod_9gServo One piece PowerPod for 9gram Servos. PowerPod_9gServo_Split Same as above, Split for smaller build areas. Any other input is welcome! (Let's see builds/Maidens!) ** End Update ** Well after one of the latest FliteTest's videos I finally got around to trying this. I've seen several examples on YouTube that other people have done and thought I would put my spin on it (been on my "2Do" list for awhile now.) I designed this for my specific equipment. Basically an "F" pack with a cheap FlySky receiver. Maybe you can jam yours in the spaces or modify the design (I can export it to DXF if there is interest.) I fly it with a 1300 2S battery and get over 10 minutes if I play nice (around 8 if I'm naughty.) And oh, see the last photo for the effects of running a 3S on it (or at least for me! LOL) A combination of both their ideas (Big motor/Elevons for control). There is about 5 degrees of downward thrust angle. In my experience, there was a whistle if I had her in a shallow dive (NOT as cool as the Mustang's whine, but still... Pretty cool...) I wonder if it's due to the screw holes in the pod?.... Not a huge fan of Wal-Mart... Hobby Lobby has these as well (and you can often find a 40% off coupon!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhfhVvWUTmo
