Sry Typo, i meant @kotnascher
You’re throwing a lot of shade in this build channel 
As @Ackermann already stated he is a big, full grown man, he naturally throws a lot of shade

So first steps of this build is now taken and lets see where this will go, have ordered stuff from Gong now, I ordered mast and alike in the “fancy” turqiouse colour so some of the order will take time to come
Huge thanks to @ludwig_bre for supplying me with some of his extra parts, making my life easier!.

Have to say that the case looks awful for drag. I guess you could cover it somehow but why did you choose it? Did you get it from ludwig? If so, that surprises me a bit.
It’ll be interesting to see the power numbers in the end but you might need even more than the 6-8kW that his gun case needed.
It’s the same case the original inverters and I drive
I ordered two and now gave away the 2nd
6kW is enough for a rider with 70-80kgs
Someone designed some parts to make it more streamlined too, but I did not come around to try them yet

So an update to the build so far, so far not so much more has happened besides more studying of next steps and making some orders.
As you can see, I have decided to use the V3 Fuselage with the V2 Mast as hoping Gongs claims of improvements of V3 fuselage to be true, but also hoping for longer time I can buy spares or replacements.
Fuselage: Gong Foil Fuselage V3 59€
Wing: Gong Foil Front Wing Curve H V3 Large 459€
Stab: Gong Foil Stab Curve H V3 Large 179€
Mast: Gong Foil Alu Mast V2 95cm (Teal) 79€
Top plate: Gong Foil Top Plate Alu V2 (Teal) 29€
Fuselage Connector: Foil Aluminium Mast Fuselage Connector V2 Alu Mast to V3 Fuselage 39€
Hardware: Alu Foil Set Screw Kit 12€
Acessories: Tef-Gel 60g (anti sieze) 45€ and Foil allavater mast plug set V2 6€
I have decided I will order everything from Gong however, I did a misorder with the fuselage and some other parts as I didn’t realise what the compatability was and they didn’t cancel my order even though they said they would, so now I gotta send the order back and reorder.
As for now I am also planning to redesign a 65motor mount to fit the larger 70165 Motor I plan to install, also some more changes.
Remote: BREmote 60€ w. shipping (with Pistol shaped controller case), feels like right for this DIY build and “saving” some on the potential order from Flipsky
Anti-Spark: 20s capable Anti spark, Maytech or Flipsky potentially 90€
Prop: 3D printed Prop initially to figure out which form will fit my use case best with the bigger motor 2€
That is all and I will post next update when the Gong order is sorted out and I will start 3d printing.

90 eur for an antispark? Why not just use a 1eur resistor - and get better robustness?

On and off switch, better reliability and ease of use, I have resistors too but it’s something I dont want to fiddle around with while riding.
I use this switch in my build
Battery 1: Via 10R
Battery 2: Direct connection
Its a bulky and not water-tight switch but both no problem in a weaponcase

That’s a fun solution will consider it 
To each his own but i don’t see the logic. Why would you use it while riding? And the fiddling, a 5 second manoeuvre at most, plug resistor or precharge, plug main. Reliability would not be better with a switch, resistor will last the lifetime of the board, but switches have been popping like popcorn on the forums.
One of my powerhouses of Esk8 has same Antispark, ran it for 3 years and 6000km’s no issue so far with it and same with my e-moped, same setup no issues, I just like clean and practical builds, however thinking Ludwigs design is also a good way of making it.
We all have our favourites but unnecessary electronics and more cost? Why not just an antispark connector? At lower voltage my experience is that they work well.
Because 18-20S setups the XT-90S has limited lifespan as an anti spark, and according to Ludwig with his setup it last one connection, also the MakerX G300 needs a smooth supply curve as a reccomendation therefor requiring some kind of antispark.
Sure, at that high voltage the resistor is too small.
Ordered the stuff from Gong Galaxy at a black friday discount so essentially got the storage bag and screws for free, no shipping aswell!.
Mast: Gong Foil Alu Mast V2 85cm (Black)
Top plate: Gong Foil Top Plate Alu V2 (Teal)
Fuselage: Gong Foil Fuselage V2
Wing: Gong Foil Front Wing Curve V2 Large
Stab: Gong Foil Stab Curve V2 39cm
Fuselage Connector: Foil Allvator V2 Mast Fuselage Connector (Teal)
Hardware: Alu Foil Set Screw Kit
Accessories: Anti sieze and a bag for everything
Total: 661€
Further updates on the project, I was finishing some other PEV projects of mine, but I have the Gun Case and the parts at hand, the foil obviously also available, now all that remains is mostly remote, motor and the battery pack.
Right now the aim is to have a black and teal theme gonna 3d print the remote in Glassfiber reinforced ASA in teal to have a little two tone design on this, BKB Remote (hopefully the gun case so it can have a single 21700 cell in it), right now the motor seems to be 65161 as Flipsky no longer sell the 70165 and Battery pack is just ordering the cells rest of materials I already have .
I will post more updates when I have 3d printed the mount and started working more on the gun case.
It might be worth emailing Flipsky about the 70165 if you are interested in that motor.
Flipsky’s website seems to occasionally delist some products. But if you search they still appear and seems like you can buy it. So not clear if it’s really available or their website has issues. The 70165 can be found:

Oh thanks for the headsup, I will consider it again then, started feeling lazy and a bit happy having not to modify the mount files to fit the slightly larger motor, so might still go for the 65161 one, however there is a “sale” but nothing I want is on sale so I will wait for new year / christmas and see if there will be a sale later
Which resistor do you use? Do you got a link?
Is it like this one?
