  I am approaching 3 years on my first Techpod.  It is amazing how many hours of flight time you can build up on a Techpod.   Typically I get about 2.5 hours of flight time at 13 m/s airspeed using two 6600 mAhr 4s batteries.   Cruises at 13m/sec and 70 watts.  I was getting under 60 watts but I think with age I am getting a bit more wing twist.

  Have so much time on this Techpod airframe that the rudder hinging material wore out.   One of the hitec aileron servos went out too, last year.   Was a little surprised to find out that the average expected life of RC servos is only about 100 hrs.

  Hi All,

  As far as the HS 65 servos go, is it better to use the metal gear (MG) model in place of the Karbonite gear (HB) model?

  Hi All,

  I am new to the Techpod User Group, but not to DIY Drones.

  After having flown a couple of custom modified EZ*s and TwinStar IIs, I have been thinking about building a Techpod.

  Therefore I am interested if anyone has integrated a Pixhawk into the Techpod fuse?

  I believe that Wayne has integrated an APM2.5 into his fuse.

  If any of the members has integrated a Pixhawk into his Techpod, could you please pm me.

  Regards,

  Kickstarter and first orders commenced shipping today. Emails with tracking info will be sent out early next week.

  Our boltrc.com store checkout module has been improved to provide real time delivery costs for the Techpod. Some minor mods still required however a big step forward.

  Hey all, I hope all is well.  I've almost got my kickstarter techpod completed.  I was just wondering if there are any v2.0 fixes or suggestions that I should implement prior to beating the crap out of this plane?  Thanks.

  Hi James, that is correct. I have your details from Wayne. I have sent you a pm so we don't mistakenly disclose any personal detail on this board.

  BTW, Kickstarter buyers you can purchase any of the parts from our store and have the parts delivered for free with their plane. Just select pickup from store option on checkout.

  Cheers

  That is great news Mark. I assume you will also be distributing the original kick starter orders (of which I am one)?
