Default RE: Vega's 2005 contest entry

Spent a few hours thinking about how to mount the radio on a profile model without letting castor oil run rampant in the electrical gubbins.

My solution has been to cheat and build a pod around the radio (mostly soft 1/4 sheet) and to sort out the wing mount at the same time. There is a hatch to go over the radio space and then some tape to seal. Weight of the beast prior to tissue covering is about 9 ounces with a thumping great 300 mah rx battery.

Still looking good for that first flight in the wind and rain on the 30th of April
