Default RE: Skywalker FPV

When building the Skywalker, there are as many ways to arrange the inside components as there are to equip it for flight and video. I choose to run my servo leads inside the carbon tube and then run my 72MHz receiver antenna along the channel meant for the servo wires.

One side of the main section was reinforced with light foam board and then covered with Vecro to act as a wall to hold my electronics. Items can easily be repositioned as needed.

I cut out the hatch on the other side of the fuselage and made a removable access from nylon thumbscrews and spare servo arms. The thumbscrews were later marked on the top to follow the servo arm.
