Thanks for the excellent tutorial. I built a platform for my Easystar to hold an ardupilot, but your design is much better. If your plans are still available, could you send me a copy? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks and ... Regards ... Fritz Hello, Michael.

The pod will not fit in an orignial Easy*, the acces to the fusolage on mine is around 15mm larger to get my big batteries in and out. 2. The GPS on this place will not work if you run a 1.2/1.3GHz video TX direct in front of it. I ended up to place the GPS in the nose and the video antenna out on the wing using coax to connect the VTx. If you would like to have the plans anyway then let me know.

Is there a way that you share the pod plans with me as i would love to build one for myself too? Thank you for the tutorial. Teo Hi,

However, I wouldn't paint it again. Paint is sticking not that good, if you put some tape and pull it off later the paint is gone. Also the paint goes off when the foam is scratched or squeezed. So just use some colored tape and keep the rest as is. I used standard water based acryl paint, just used a brush, no special preparation.

Can you tell me what brand of paint you used, wether spray can or airbrush and did you do any prep work ? Thanks Rich Tomanek Michael

I'm contemplating building something similar myself, and it helps to read up before making an investment. Thank you for posting your modifications, tips, pictures, and parts list.
