  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.

  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.

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

  Todd funny thing is NZ is about $65 for shipping from washington, AUS is $300 go figure. Yes I can ship you a RTF techpod. If you want anything custom just let me know. Thanks for the kind words.

  Thanks Wayne,

   

  As you can probably tell, I'm very keen to get my Techpod in the air!

  James, no problem. The fright company picked them up about two weeks ago. I think they were saying 3 weeks for the transit time. I will thow them an email and get back to you with a date.

  Sorry to keep harping on this, but is there any news on the Australian shipment front?

  I haven't seen any shipping announcement in the last month. I may have missed it so would be grateful if someone can point me to it.

  Hi Marcelo

  Wayne had answer your question. Techpod is definitely a very capable air frame for the job. I'll have mine maiden in full manual mode tomorrow if weather is good.
