1/6 FB F-5 canopy mechanism
 

Finally Finished!!!

I got busy and finished the scale canopy mechanism for my F-5. It uses one drive servo and 2 small servos for the front locks and is removable for interior access. Going to Super Jet South tomorrow for the trial run.

Here's some pics.

Jed, looks awesome!! What did you use for the final material? looks almost like a delrin plastic or something of that type.

Ian,

Sorry for the late reply I'm at SJS flying. I sent the prototype to Dan at Details and he put it into urathane.
