An epoxy cup was just the right size to plug the carb clearance hole. Glued it in with some Seal-All.

That should do the trick and I like the solution simple and effective.

Couple pics of the cargo bay I'm working on.

When it's all done it will sit flush with the bottom of the fuse. And it will be removable for service.

That's huge you can put a lot of stuff in that box. Hope you can still take off when it is full you could double the plane weight with that cargo box.
You will need quite the servo to hold it closed.

Yup Yup. Parachutes are a bit bulky but don't weigh too much. Same with candy.

Wait...wait...wait, I didn't get my tickets yet!

"You did" remember to tell them I'm coming with, riiiiight???

Seriously envious of you but very happy for you too. Be safe, have fun...lots of fun! And don't forget you promised to bring me a little surprise from 3w Germany for being a good boy. Nothun' special. Just make sure they have multiple gorgeous red heads.

Have a great safe trip!

That's cool bro and thanks. We've been there several times ourselves. It's a nice change of pace once in a while for sure.

Well after a few week break for vacation, back to work on the Robinhood.

Finally finished up the cargo box. After pondering the linkage for a while, I decided to go with a cable setup instead of hard linkage.

I made a removable trim panel to keep the cargo from getting tangled in the cables.

The whole package servo and all came in at a fuzz over 13 oz.

Finally settled on a color scheme. The limited selection of 10 meter rolls of Ultracote made my decision easier. Going with Orange and Deep Blue.
