"Lol... Next thing you know I will confuse you and have them made with black fibreglass :)"

"Hello
Whew... was not sure if I should be worried or complimented on the comparison!
The pod should not cause any issue.  There is a reason the wings have a dedicated pocket on each side to store a vtx and an rx in them!  The idea is to move these…"

"Hey.. Fantastic glider the maxa.

Was curious.. You are worried about 2 small canopies being carbon.. Yet the maxa has carbon wings. (assume I have the same model you are thinking of?)

Overall.. The maxa is in a different league altogether. Much…"

"Hi Mark
I will be building another one from the ground up in the next week or two - for the purpose of a build log/manual.
I will endeavour to get these details outlined for you at the same time.
A few quick questions answered:
Ailerons/Flap…"

"For me... I have a vision / desire for an fpv gps triangle style competition.

But mostly.. I love fpv soaring and slope soaring. None of the models that are currently used make a platform that is good enough at this role. Until now....

Clearly the…"

"Ok.. I will give it some thought.

Currently you wont vit a 7.5cm wide unit in the model.   But that can be resolved with a custom specification fuselage.
Its possible too that we could do an option of built up wings to make the model lighter - net…"

"Hmm.. Fair point.

I guess what's key is the failsafe to always put in neutral aileron.

This is fine for my needs.

Best is a decent and flexible mixer in apm. Once that arrives.. Happy days :)"

"Yes.   If you pop camber on - it slows right up.  The question is - what type of hardware do you want to put in the bottom pod.  How big is it etc?
We are considering another fuselage pod option for this purpose - would you need the ability for the…"

"True.. but it is not the end of the world. Key is to use a flight controller that can mix rudder & aileron. 
On mine I am using MFD AP.
The solution is surprisingly simple.  You only drive a single aileron. And mix this to rudder.

You then handle…"

"Stephen.. You would love it!

The model was originally convinced as my idea.. Then came together after multiple rounds of design work bouncing between myself, Andy and and Byron.

Fortunately byron travels to China almost weekly.. So we where able…"
