Skyhunter Scratch build with maiden flight.

I saw the skyhunter and thought "I can make that" so this is the build process.. Enjoy :)

Flying FPV with a fatshark and mobius camera. I love this camera no sun flaring.. And so clear. 

Plane was built will 1/2in wall foam from Home Depot and gorilla glue. 

Found out that the foam has a grain to it so you can bend it one direction. here is a pic of the reduious.

Added 3 foam blocks so i could sape the nose how i wanted it. 

Standard Gray paint had to a lot of lite coats so the foam would not burn.

First dry fit.

 

Put magnets in the top to hold the hatch down. Harbor fright had a pac of 10 for 2 bucks

 

The new motor runnign a 11x7 pusher prop

Installed landing gear.

 

Ready for the maiden flight.. So nervous....

Had to put 3 2200mah batteries in the very front to get the CG about 1/3 back on the wing.
