Cheers man!

 

Okay, so wont be able to continue the build until 7:30 tonight school till 4 then to take the siblings to hockey, not much left to do really, attach tail to boom, boom to frames and a bit of wiring then she'll be ready for maiden

 

Coming together well I see. Take your time and enjoy it Darcy!!

 

Wow I must say that the black and the white looks quite striking!

 

It does doesn't it. Looks even better in real Life.
If we can convince Josh H to come to the Queens Birthday fly, we can all have a good look.

 

Okay, I have some pics for you!

I didnt get pics of the last 2 stages as my phone was flat and mum had my camera



More coming

 

Got a fix for your problem mate! Its been pestering me and have found a fix, not surr if this will effect anything but all I did was found a shorter bolt of the same diameter and put that through, the spacer that you put between servo horn and ball link can then be removed leaving you with a couple mm clearence!

Here is a pic



I measured it and it misses by 3 mm or so perfect

 

Interesting Darcy..

Did that increase the distabe between the ball link and the anti-rotation bracket mount ? or to the servo case? - as there looks to be only about 1mm gap not 3mm

Whe distance to do have the ball link out from the center of the servo now?

ie: distance from center of servo arm screw to center of ball link screw

Also - what servo arms are you using as it's hard to find ones that fit well.

PS: I updated my original post picture with a blue arrow to make sure we are talking about the same gap... can you have a look at the pic again please and tell me if that's what your solution fixed?

 

Awww - it looks like the Speed had a baby

 

A pretty baby, but a bay nonetheless.

 

Ahh, you and I were talking about a different problem! aha

 

Ehe yeah, it does! keen to fly them both!

 

Setup 1/2 done will finish when I get back home... time for a maths test
