I managed to catch a window of open sky in a week of rain to get my first flight in.

Nice! Lots of wide open space to fly. What have you got on the ends of the lower motor arms?

Battle scars. I got the unit used. The previous owner broke the thin carbon fiber tips (batch 3 style) in a hard landing. He laser cut some delrin tips to fit with the new batch 4 tips that eliminated the super-thin fiber holes.

Which bag did you buy to store the unit in?

It is @HangsFromSky’s machine. He has a complete build log with the details.

The bag came with it from the previous owner. It looks like it is some sort of paragliding equipment bag. It is backpack style with a nice big space inside. It fits it very well.

Thanks for posting! I believe Phil and a couple of others have listed bags that they use. I will take a look. Cheers!
