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. 

What it does

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

Next Batter Up Is...

My next transmitter project will be a poor old Proline that was a wee bit neglected but shall be given the love it deserves. Here are some initial snaps of the before and initial take-apart.

Have fun,
Andy

Stick it to the man!

What!!! No Fluoride???

Nice packs!

The stick is still very, very nice.

 A little dirty and tired but all that will be fixed at Andy's spa.

Huge thanks to MAN!

I wanted to thank Model Airplane News for giving my gimbal project a four page spread in the March 2011 Canadian Edition of Model Airplane News. I was informed that it is also available for online subscribers. It is not in the US print version.

They are some of the nicest people I have ever dealt with and featuring a small project like mine gives great hope to myself and others looking to start building r/c equipment locally.

A sincere thank you,
Andy

Thank you Debra and John!
