Default RE: The Evolution of the Foam Flip 3D Flipper

Here is a few shots of how the electronics got mounted.

In the first two you can see how I attempted to get the main landing gear on as well as the layout for the equipment. In the third picture you can see the servo mounts I use and the end of one of the really cool 0.050" carbon rod, 1/16" shrink wrap and 0.032 wire CA'd pushrods I started using to eliminate flex and servo extensions. I used to add the weight of servo extecsions and move the servos back to avoid pushrod guides and keep the pushrods short and flex free. I didn't think these were going to work when I first tried it but I was amazed at their holding power at the joint and flex free opperation.
