Viper EDF is ready!

Finally finished setting up the control surfaces and gyro for my Viper EDF!  I went with the PNP version of the plane so I could add a SAFE receiver and add telemetry for the battery capacity.  This cost more money, but I have tons of telemetry data and can fly per the battery capacity remaining vs a timer.


Had to cut a hole in the hatch to fit my 4000mah batteries and leave room for the current sensor.

Added weight to get the CG right since the battery is forward.  I had to add even more weights after this picture!

Messy wires :(  Not much room to fit the current sensor in a spot with the correct CG.  Thus, I had to add weights to the tail.
