Standard? The layout is sorta common, but I designed and machined every part except the driveshafts. And the angle works fine. The max for those trunnions is nearly 60 degrees.
The board on top is where I went a little nuts.

It has drive and steering controllers (servo motors), 4 switching power supplies, WiFi for weather conditions, GPS, altitude and heading reference, switches for every function, a small computer for data collection, and the receiver sitting up there at top right. 9 channels.

yeah, forums are all but dead. iv watched every forum i use (RC and otherwise) shrivel up and several are actually gone. sad to see 10+ years of info and builds go away like that.
i remember the heyday of the RCCA forums back in the late 90's. log off at 10pm. log back on when you got home from school and you're thread was 3 pages back and your inbox was full of post notifications. threads going 20 and 30 pages in the matter of a week.
hell i remember forums being rivals. you're a member of this forum, that persons a member of that forum. you run into them on a third forum or someplace and you had beef! lol
thems was the good ol' dayz. back before social media doomed society and turned everyone into a lazy self centered attention whoring narcissist

What's wrong with *****s? Hehe.
I do see your point. Social media is the opiate of the masses... immediate return, and that put the forum threads to the grave. I still like this, though, because the archiving means tons of useful information and the only way we used to do it.
