A Woody for the Summer!

I finally finished my second MS2K. I found some great walnut veneer and had to give this baby the California Surfin' Vibe. This one will be for helis as well planes so I needed a few switches for throttle hold, flight modes and that kinda stuff. Had to build a voltage regulator circuit to protect the Spektrum module from the über-massive lipo powah ;-) Hope to have a few vids in a week or so. Keep flyin'!

Cheers,
Andy
Good fun!

A couple more wires than the first one.

Lucky 7 Update

I am still working on refining the spring system. At the moment the feel is not to my liking so I will keep working on the design until it rocks. Sorry 'bout the delay but I will not release it until it's up to my personal requirements. Promise to post updates soon.

I am currently amusing/distracting myself with my second personal MS2K and should have a few snaps in week.


Cheers & keep flying,

Andy

Lucky 7 Rough Install to Demonstrate Mechanics

This is a simple video to show how the gimbal will  mount. I have had more than one request to explain the install so here it is :-) This is just the gimbal with no springs, pots or wires.

Cheers,
Andy

The Test Parts Are In And This Ain't Your Daddy's Singlestick!!!

I got the test parts back from waterjet cutting. A big thanks to Burak at Flexyshop! The following photos show the basic parts. I will assembly the unit week and post some snaps of the complete stick. It will allow for a case as shallow as 1.5" and only requires two screws to mount. The bezel will come in a week or so once all throws are finalized.

Parts place in position. 

The reason it's called Luck Seven.

Elevator bock close up.

Next Big Project

The main design work is done and first units will be started next week! Still some decisions to be made but things are very animated in the Rec Room. The name will make sense too!

Cheers & Stay Tuned,
Andy
