    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    The first one put the batteries about 1/4" to high and the cowl would not go on. If the bats were two cells only they would have fit. The bats that I have are 2S but have 4 individual cells in them and are twice as thick as a 2cell pack. So back to the drawing board :face-palm:.

    Permission Granted :). I used 30 minute epoxy. I also glued a piece of 1/4" x 3/8" hardwood stock down the middle of the gear plate that slides in to the slot that's left in the foam from the plastic one. It gives ample area and strength for just the glue to bond and hold everything. The foam...

    During that time I was more in to the Hi-Fi end of Heith Kits and blew pay checks at Radio Shack. Yes how times have changed. And as I recall....The first Futaba digital proportional "full house" mode 2 AM radios went for over 600 bucks in 1967.

    Yes but not that bad really (2.7oz). My H50B's weigh 3oz! each. I love the really smooth gear train in 777's. And over 500oz in of torque aint to shabby either for such a smooth servo.
