Thanks, love to build those machines.
The owner must be very happy that you build his machine!
I would certainly be very happy. 😄
Beautiful work, Danny!

That’s gonna be a hell of a beauty!
We spare no effort to make a light weight an good flying scale model.
Nice!

Looks neat and professional!
Thank you. It takes a lot of work, but a nice result is a joy forever.
Great pro work Danny !
Thanks.
Yes, topside connection is key to avoid fiddly oscillations. Without using a camera, one can only see tail movements without noticing that's coming from the head.
I also use a camera inside the cockpit to monitor vibrations and eventual degradation over time
of the components, like real airliners monitoring vibrations for certain parts (I'm using insta360 go 2).
Find real test video.

Very interesting video, so you can see really what is happening.
I always make a stable and sustainable connection as close to the topside of the mechanics as possible, never had issue's with vibration.
Thanks for sharing the video!
I’m enjoying the pictorial journey.
How nice is this again! Faboulous!
Danny, how will you cover the screw caps that hold the LiPo trays? It would be an issue if the battery would rub on the screw...
Hello, there will be a "L" shaped foam installed on the carbon plates so the Lipo's can not touch the screw and ALu base frame.
