TheWoWDBOn collecting this quest from Farstrider Lodge, you head to Ironwing cave - the entrance looks onto Ironbrand's Excavation.
Once inside, you fight mechanical striders and chickens to reach the Rusted Skystrider.
However, although the quest text reads as if there's an item, it doesn't give you one and there isn't one to find - the Supermechanical Robo-Widget doesn't exist as an item. In spite of this, the quest will still turn in no problems.
A few bonus things to watch for when completing this quest (and being in this area in general). I stumbled across 3 elites:
[npc=14268]
[npc=45399]
[npc=14266]Very nice XP to be earnt from these for the level, so keep an eye out!

Yep I can confirm that there isn't an actual "physical" item that goes in your bags. A bit weird.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bird is the Word
I've actually nearly perfected my dream machine: The Skystrider! The world's first flying Mechanostrider! But, well When I was putting the finishing touches on it in my secret cavern lab, my other creations became, er, jealous.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- He's That Age
I'm not making the Skystrider for me, <name>. Not even for gnomekind. I want my son to be the one to fly it. I'm old, and my reflexes aren't what they used to be. But my boy Ando could be the best pilot Azeroth's ever seen, if he'd just get over his teenage moodiness!
