Big 5 Striker Conversion

[TJ Wright]

Well...I told Jackson I was bored today...and just look at what happens.....I took a perfectly good bird apart..............and made it better.....Ha....I used an old Rx case for the housing...and a Carbon arrow shaft for the booms.... it wasn't a big ordeal.... just got my creative juices flowing...and Shazam.....Ideas just come out of no where...lol This is my first attempt at creating anything like this... the following is a test flight /first power on video.....I had my fingers crossed on this....but as you can see...it all went well....I cant wait to get it outside...

Pretty cool. Would have been interesting to see a weight comparison, original vs. Wrightofied.

Funny but I do not have a small digital scale like I should have....we weighed the SymaX8's on a grocery scale at the coast..bird camera and battery...1.25lbs......but ....alas..I have no way to weigh...pun intended...
but I will say..In my hand...the removed body, feels to me. To weigh as much as the entire copter does now......and it lifts off with half as much throttle.

BTW....today is another of..."Those Days"....lmao

So....Has anyone branded me a "Crazy" yet......????
There should be a trophy for that.....

 

[Jackson]

Hmm... Will this do?
