@OnwardGuinevere Does it go boioioiiing when you hit a low hanging branch? 'Cause that would be cool! 🤪
I will test this out whenever the high winds quit here. Though, I'd say it's on par for flexibility like the NMO antenna I have for the 1:1. 🤣
 
Well this happened by accident 😅

Packed up most the RC stuff a while back, lack of time/lost interest. Anyways, the optic was left on the shelf as a decoration. Went to actually rob the electronics out of it for the bronco the boy has been bugging me to get back together in case he gets a boat for Christmas 🤣. Well I got the motor halfway out before I realized it wasn’t even gonna work, so…

I just put the damn thing together with the stock panels so we can take it to the river (had it for a year now and it’s never really been run 🤦‍♂️ *staresatdoom* 🤣)
 
Another unfinished project. I’m giving up on scale building 🤣 I don’t have the time or patience for that 😅.

Swapped out the fusion pro for the copper head.

Put a little brass on the front. Just the caster blocks and knuckles for now. Got the body prepped to paint. Gonna try to get that tomorrow.

Another step closer.. Have some ultra high strand count, pre-tinned copper 20awg silicone jacketed stuff arriving tomorrow so I can finish this up. I’ll start on the cables this evening. There will be (2) 25.4V leads, and also a single 12V output-should I happen to need one for whatever reason. -Also obviously the short, “step-up” lead from PSU #1, to the floated ground #2 PSU. Afterwards, I’ll insulate the entire breakout/bullets, secure them together as a single unit, and wrap it in black Forged Carbon Fiber vinyl. 😎

Work in progress.

It needs a fan, an upgraded motor mount (the AE one is a disgrace - I hate it!)

Gearbox has been modified.

Need a different servo horn to get linkage parallel.

But - it's going to be ready later this week with a fan and a personal transponder. 🤩
