Awesome Wayne. I am really looking forward to recieving mine. The 6S build also interests me and will help me decide what power set up to go with.

- How much does it weigh with 10000mAh worth of 6S batteries on board? Is hand launching likely to be a problem? I'm thinking 5000mAh and ~1.5hrs would be enough for me!

- Will the kit come with basic hardware like pushrods/clevis's etc?

- Have you tried the bay doors idea for the bottom hatch that you mentioned a while back? What kind of cover will the kits ship with for this area (clear hatch or doors)?

james,

 about 6 lbs about the same as the first prototype. Hand launch will be no sweat. yes the kit comes with pushrods, clevis,horns etc. I will be installing doors after the initial endurance testing is done. Basically the cover can be cut in two and used as a door.

I'm very impress of your design and would like to place an order for my aerial mapping project. What is the shipping cost to Malaysia?
