Posted by Ersin Acar on February 15, 2011 at 11:30pm

Long time ago I bought MQ9 airframe. But couldn't find anytime to assemble it. But in these days i started to assemble it. I read their manual but it was sux so i did it with my way ^^ Here is the elevator and rudder connections;

    http://www.giantcod.co.uk/epower-bl4020-520kv-brushless-outrunner-m... this one atm but i will try it with rc setup first (wont use ardupilot) to see its ok or not. i have couple motors for trying

  • Scotty February 16, 2011 at 11:35am
    Oh and which motor are you using?
  • Scotty February 16, 2011 at 11:34am
    I only plan on painting the small area that I had to drill through for the airspeed sensor, and I'm going to leave it the grey primer color. My only concern for the wings is that the aerosol could eat through the covering. I'll let you know how well the primer sticks to the fiberglass though.

    let me know when you try painting stuff ;)
  • Scotty February 16, 2011 at 8:15am
    I have the same model and I am in the build process too. The airframe is fiberglass (not covered, trust me I drilled though it) but the wings are built up ply and covered. I'm going to try painting it with a grey primer, and then I can paint it any color I want.
