Cargotrans/GWS C-130 FPV Build Package

This is a bundle containing all the parts to make a robust C-130 from the Cargotrans C-160 kit found on Banggood and Aliexpress.

The conversion is based off the nacelles found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7189461 that were modified to fit a standard 16mm width mounting pattern for larger motors. Those nacelles and motor mounts were made to fit a strange, not widely available motor mount pattern. The modified mounts make the mount itself stronger and able to accept standard 2204 sized quad motors. 

The flight controller mount is tailored for the FlyingRC F4/Pro WSE Mk1.5 and a 20mm 4in1 ESC. Parts of the fuselage will need to be cut to accept the servo mount and flight controller tray. Do not worry about losing foam as the parts when glued in make the fuselage section much stronger than it would be before. Please dry fit the FC and servo trays before cutting any foam!

You will need to mount the FC tray using 2mm standoffs that are of about 5mm in height. There are supplied elevator tabs to glue in the elevator linkage rod to something to distribute the force more evenly. 

The screw mount is used in place of the plywood nut for the wing and landing gear. Instead, you can use a heat press m3 nut for a cleaner, and stronger mount. There are additionally 3D models for the wing and landing tray tab retainers (Parts: washers 1 and 2). The VTX mount accepts any generic 30.5mm VTX that was mounted in the battery compartment. I had to cut the foam to make air vents for adequate cooling.  

The parts named Tube Glue Pads are for securing the pushrod tubes in before gluing the fuselage halves together. 

All parts were printed with PETG. All parts can be printed at a very high infill. 

My build list consists of:

• FlyingRC F4 WSE 1.5 flight controller running INAV

• Jhemcu EM40 4in1 ESC

• Amazon 9g metal gear servo for elevator and rudder

• AtomRC 5g servos for ailerons (reused from broken AtomRC Flying Fish)

• Feichao 2204 brushless motors

• Micro sized M10 GPS

• Happymodel EP1 ELRS Receiver

• Caddx Ant Lite analog camera (holder used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5041803)

• Suxun B-7000 glue

• Misc building supplies eg MPX connectors, 24 awg servo wires for motors, 30awg wire for RX and other signal wires

• Recommended to use 5x4 4 blade drone props and not the 6 blades as shown in the picture. There's more than enough thrust on the 4 blades and the amp draw is significantly less resulting in ~3 minutes more of flight time
