Hobbyking Osprey build

[Old School]

Handmade hull, carbon Kevlar.

Even more impressed. I "cheated" with a premade hull.

With time running out I needed to progress this build. Last night I soldered up all the connections and to my surprise the T20 and the Hifei Swordfish Pro 200 amp fired up first attempt on 6s power. The power supply will be two paralleled 6s 4000 mah 60C batteries with a choice of two locations in the hull depending on where the CoG is desired. This entailed making two battery harnesses plus changing the battery connectors on six 6s batteries. I used the Turnigy 5 amp UBEC and it fired up first attempt.

While the iron was hot I soldered up the two T20 730 kv Turnigy motors for the 60 inch Expresscraft also under construction. I also programmed the two Turnigy Aquastar 240 amp ESC's for 12s power with soft start selected to hopefully keep amperage down on initial moving off.
