It's big. The wookong wiring needs a tidy and there's various LED wires hanging out - because I don't have the LED's yet. Oh and there's still zip ties on from the test flight to hold the cells as I don't have any velcro straps yet.

The lower gimbal mount has a battery holder at either end to balance it out - and I'll of course move things around once I've got the gimbal on there. But it's all rubber isolated which is always a good thing. Love this hex but you have no idea how expensive these things can be once you start - the frame was fairly cheap - the gimbal mount was extra as were the landing gear legs. The 6 motors, loads of wire, 40amp esc's, 12 CF blades (just in case) etc etc.
Even the batteries are a fortune for 6S.
I've built it properly though - all the wires that exit the folding arms are wrapped in that pastic meshy tube stuff and heat shrunk. It's just the finishing touches to tidy up the wookong and other wires that I need to do.








My wookongM has a 50 waypoint upgrade but I've no idea at all how it works or how to access it. Not sure I ever would need to mind you. With zero experience of this stuff the only thing I needed to look online for was how to bind the reciever! Everything else was pretty easy with the Futaba. I need to label the buttons tho as I've already forgotten what they do.
