Hi All

I have been thinking about a ROLL/TILT for the skywalker platform and I came up with something like this. This design is great for Roll/Tilt stabilization.…

The new Cube 3D printer is a must have for all DIY people.

Yes! I know you can get a makerbot and yes it's maybe more in the spiret of DIY. But I must say the Cube is awsome easy to use. save your drawings in STL file and boom it's printet. No setup! just more or less PnP.

Hey Hooks, how ar eyou doing? it has been more than a month since I came here i guess.

life is keeping me so busy, anyway, I've tried and squeezed my mind trying to think of a simple way to attach the booms to the wing but no easy way i could come up with.

i don't know if we are exaggerating about the weights and the strength.

I proceeded with my old design. tha canard. and i already cut the fuselage

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. Saw some other threads for "Best UAV platform" where the Skywalker was mentioned: http://www.fpvflying.com/products/Skywalker-platform-for-UAV-FPV.html
I'm torn between EasyStar, Twinstar II, Skywalker or some delta-wing-thing...choosing your first bird is HARD! :)
