I will post numbers about the weight loss with this frame soon, I just need to get them from my garage.

Darn... you beat me to it!

I have owed Charlie a build video on this for a couple of weeks but have had problems with getting the kit, servos, etc to use for the build. I still plan on doing it SOON....

So my comments... BETTER LIGHTING!
You need to go over the screws in the kit to use and where (lengths and types), etc.
I would have covered how to trim the tabs off the servos as you have to be careful doing this so you dont fracture the servo case.
Linkage rod setup and what rods to use where?
How about squaring up the frame if needed (e.g. no twist in the frame).


Anyway just my thoughts... but good first try! I am sure many will like this (at least until I do mine :) )

I had my industrial sized shoe goo though!! :D

Was 2:00 am when I did this, was in my PJ's and realized how bad the lighting was after I downloaded it and watched it.

"You need to go over the screws in the kit to use and where (lengths and types), etc. "

I did, socket caps are motor, long machine are elevator, and shorter are normal servo mount screws, the small screws are for the linkage adapters.

I did do all this on the fly no scripting, was interesting but fun.

I do all mine on the fly :mrgreen:

Hmmm I guess I meant more detail on the screws as that didnt seem clear to me.... Also I do that each step as I do break my vids into specific steps.

BUt good first job just going at it!

good effort. the video was very dark, so i had to bump up the brightness lots. also might want to cover the black bench completely and avoid any black backgrounds when trying to show a black part.

The tolerances are so right on I had some difficulty getting the the "2 servo" subframe to get flush with the main frame because of some burrs on the elevator servo spacers.. Just a little filing and all was well.. Love these frames.. Your video is right on..

Thanks Sandy, I had the same problem.

I will do better next time with lighting and all, and try not to do it at 2 am again.

I let Finless take care of it the right way, at least I got my feet wet.
