"well some light pressure and leverage already popped that case open without damage. Once open easy cable swap and cables now look good for the radio. It's late here so testing waits for tomorrow.

"Thanks..My challenge tomorrow is to get the radio split open and the correct cabling on that.. Test telemetry.. Then look into how the airspeed sensor is to connect.. Then its onto starting to try to lay all these elements out, with access... "
"Yeah rushed into it without realizing the clones and variation in quality.. Even claimed it was '3dr radios'
I dont mind paying the cost, but one downside with ordering Stateside to here (asia) is shipping and import tax.. Chinese stuff comes…"

"OK I think I may be narrowing it down.. It looks to me like this airside radio is hardwired with a 5 pin plug for APM and the MAvLink daisy chain adapter ?? At least this image seems to show what is discussed about half way in this video …"
"I have decided on the even larger skywalker 1880 with the T tail. I have plenty of space both for storage and for transport. Easy working space, room to add more, simple trainer flight characteristics all appealed for an easy introduction.

"Seems Aliexpress has many many 'new' skywalkers.. I am 90% getting the radio gear from this place, so combining seems best.. seem to have a few options (as well as the x5).

"It was my intention to simply build the airframe.. Get back into flying for weeks / months (I am semi retired so have plenty of available practice time) and then, once the plane (and pilot !!) are trimmed out.. Work on adding the pixhawk system.…"
"Thanks. I need to get my head around motor esc prop calcs next. Lots of learning. How does a Skywalker X5 with a 950 - 1250 kv motor turning a 8x4 prop with a 30 - 40A esc sound ??
Apologies for whats more RC questioning.. I cross posted here as I…"

"Am being told elsewhere the Bix3 doesnt have a lot of room for the flight controller and rest of the electronics.
Also considering the Slywalker X5 and the Phantom FPV airframes. Both seem to have plenty of space but I did want an easy hand launch…"

I would really appreciate feedback on the shopping list. I know this is a bit basic and simple RC stuff but maybe theres something that applies to the Pixhawk system I may miss. I used to fly but left the hobby after having a whole bunch of stuff…
