I’m currently looking for a reliable online shop (preferably within the EU) for small electronics parts like cables, connectors, and especially UART pins/crimp contacts.

What I’m mainly looking for:
-decent quality
-fair prices
-reasonable shipping times

Where do you usually order this kind of stuff? Any shops you’ve had good experiences with?

Short flight day today. Right after launch, a gust caught the plane, pushed it straight up — and then straight down into the ground.

Result: airframe is toast, but surprisingly all electronics and the LiPo survived.

Well… looks like the 3D printer has a new job again.

Setup:

Airframe: Soarkraft Igneous (printed with ColorFabb PLA-LW)

Servos: Emax ES08MD II

Motor: Surpass 2204 1400KV

ESC: Mantis Slim 15A

Battery: 3S 850mAh

Radio: Radiomaster Boxer Crush

Receiver: ER6G

Did the maiden flight today. Everything went smoothly – clean launch, stable flight characteristics, and immediately felt great in the air.

The PLA-LW build keeps it nice and light, which really shows in the handling. No trim issues or unexpected behavior.

Looking forward to more flights and some fine-tuning
