FT F22 Build

Hi - very nice innovation on the motor mount! Be sure to treat it with varnish or paint to waterproof and stiffen/strengthen the card. Amazing how much stronger card and paper gets after varnishing. You'll let us know how it lasts? The only weak point I see is the wood panel on the front. - this isn't actually plywood and I can already see a split at the top there. Pre-drilling the screw hole with an undersized bit helps, so that the wood doesn't have to spread as much. OR just drill it out and use a nut and bolt with a big washer on the cardfoam side to help spread the load. If you can't find ply I found that MDF (medium density fibreboard) works reasonably well for firewalls. No grain, so it never splits. Nice build though :)

Thanks for the nice comments.
I have thought to decrease the air intakes to increase the air flow inside my ESC, I am using a 30A from hobby king which is heating a lot..... :-(....... and besides I thought that would look nice!
:-D

I wil try to make it the flying video as soon as the weather in Germany helps.....

Thanks man and take good care.!
