For now my plan is to fly it with the APM 3.1 but in manual mode. I will first test the plan on its own.



Here is how I mounted the APM 3.1 I used hobbyking's mount for 36mm boards please take note that the gps module has different dimensions. I mounted the boards simple by sticking it with gyro mounting tape. Its strong enough and reduces vibration. I am thinking for additional integrity to add zip tie. The challenging part of this build is the APM 3.1 which requires some wiring customization. A little help from the forums and all of it is solved.







For now this is the cleanest wiring I can get out of it. I have used cppm from the frsky receiver to further reduce wiring clutter.











I will test for vibration before I maiden it this weekend. (will post video soon)



After the maiden I will immediately attached this pan and tilt gimbal housing the KEY 808 video camera for the fpv.









The build really went relatively easy I have to say that hobbyking's slow stick is an evolution of the GWS slowstick its not perfect but it has a lot of improvements over the GWS.











I will also attache a couple of WS2812 to be controlled by an arduino mini. Soon as I get the hang of it I'm buying another slowstick. I think I'll get a lot of fun and experiments out of it. Ok so I have finished my build now and here is how it came up...For now my plan is to fly it with the APM 3.1 but in manual mode.
