Nice and simple, I like it.

Build update

 

Been awhile since i updated this thread; Have finally finished painting and finally after several failures found a way to mount the panels, ended up finding some stuff at the local hardware store (Lowe's). Now just have to build sides of hog and will actually look like a aircraft instead of a skeletal structure of sorts.

 

Stick extension i had made from some 3/4 in copper tubing finally broke; Had used a gardena garden hose like others and some JB weld to hold it to the top part of joystick, was having some issues with the stick slipping (moving in circles), unscrewing it caused it to break loose, so am now trying to find a new extension method that will be far more permanent this time.

I must admit my attempt at a crude extension was not the best solution but worked well for a long while so can't complain to much; just sucks for now as i cannot fly with no extension!

Looks great... seems like my own pit is years away from painting.... also will be looking closely at your solution for a new stick extension!!

I am currently trying to get one of vrpits extensions although at moment his 3d printer is down so sort of at an impasse, may in meantime have to come up with another short term solution
