RE: One Tough FFF Delta...Build It!

RE: One Tough FFF Delta...Build It!

I am impressed. Very colorful. That covering should help strengthen it as well.

RE: One Tough FFF Delta...Build It!

semi,

Nice work! So, you are going can-o-pea-less? Where are you putting all your tronics? I like the triangle frame. That has to be strong.

RE: One Tough FFF Delta...Build It!

Pete,

Thanks for the numbers. I'll store them in my cell and give you a call once we get some decent weather.
I looked up your motor, it says 1534kv.

David, good luck. Hope it screams.

RE: One Tough FFF Delta...Build It!
