Trim Lever Prototype based on Proline

Can't find it?...Gotta make it. Might make a small run of these guys. Based on a Proline lever. Will have cut out in inside if produced.

Aluminum trim lever & mount. Hand cut to try out before cutting.

Number 2 Ready To Go!

Here a snap of unit 002 ready to ship tomorrow. After a few days being out of commision due to a bad back, the action fires up again!

Fly little one, fly.

Serial Number 001 Ready to Go!

The semi-custom first production unit is ready to leave home. This baby features the Ver 2 BB system and the client requested 5k pots, sealed/ceramic bb, 3/16" shaft (for compatibility with other gimbals) and a grip. I used a very tacky rubber intended as track bicycle grips. 


Now on to the next units!!!

Pot adjustment is a snap!

Serial Number 001 Ready to Assemble!

And finally, all the parts are in to complete the first production unit serial number 001.

Here are the parts for 001. Should ship Monday!

While waiting for a couple parts...I built my MS2K encoder!

Got this beastie built and tested. And it works like a hot Dang! I'll try to post a video in the near future.

Ooh la la.

No Antonio, you're too sexy!!

Now it's just gratuitous!!!

Removable base plate for encoder (is held in place with 2 sided hook & loop).

Grommets behind bolts for added gentleness.

In place with foam sandwich. It can now travel from transmitter to transmitter.

BB Ver. 2.0!

This is the final ball bearing version. Loctite in the frame is 100% effective but this version is much more user serviceable. Unlike a set screw that deform the small ball bearing's race, this version gently cradles the bearing but keeps it in place very well with a screw holding the split frame together.

Here is Ver. 2.0 in it's unfinished state.
