i am building an old fogey . can someone post pics of the power pod and how to go about it . FT videos only talk of removable pod. Also i find that hot glue gun 60 W melts depron. Any alternative glue ? Thanks

FT got a separate video for multi-use multi-model power pod

Use 5 mins araldite. Found in any hardware store.

But remember FT uses dollar tree foam board, the thickness differs from depron sheets found here. So the dimensions need to be adjusted.

The power pod is very easy to build.......
Refer to this video:

As for the Hot Glue, let it cool down a little before using it.
I would suggest not to use epoxy as the joints will be very hard and your plane won't be repairable after a bad crash.
