Yep, drilled PVC. Don't make the holes too close or it will fold under the weight on a hard roll. The protector is attached with about 5 zip ties drilled through the roof. The bigger the better as I wanted "black" ties and only had little ones and on a hard roll doing the dirt mount jumps I broke it off, and damaged the Blubeam antenna and the mount connector on the IRC transmitter. It was repairable, but a pain, and a weak point is not using the stronger larger zip ties.
Excellent to know. I have the same TX from a plane that encountered a sudden down burst of gravity. Luckily it landed the right way to save the antenna. How high is the Rx antenna on your ground station?
More fun today:
Mashin':
Rolled it (check the hood flying high)!:
Made a fort out of my mulberry tree trimmings from a few months back. We've got a nice field but not much to see so I hid this out where only FPVers will find it. I know... I'm a dork... and yes, thats a stock Tonka with some dudes in it. I mean, someone's gotta be out at the cam right? You can see the Summit tracks in this shot showing our visit:
Plan on releasing a video!!?, also what about a heli pad!?, solar lights?... lol. Wish we lived close enough to FPV together...

Yeah, I've been laggin on posting some of the Tonka Summit video I have. And yeah... that's a landing pad on the fort! Landed on it today right before I clipped some tall brush and went down. :-)Originally Posted by kev.au
