Futaba 14MZ FASST NeckStrap Balancer

[HelicopterJohn]

One of my buddies that is constantly doing me favors as me to make him a Neck Strap Balancer for his 14MZ radio that he has converted to the FASST System. He was having some issues with the way the transmitter balanced on his neckstrap.

Finally, I was able to do something for him.

Here are a few pictures of what I made.

Nice work

Thanks for the compliment.

I recently purchase a new HAAS 3 Axis CNC Toolroom mill and this project was done on that machine. It was just another excuse to use the mill and check out it's capabilities.

Cool. I also have a TM-1P with a 4th axis. I've had it for a little over a year now. I love it:) If you don't already have it I highly recommend adding the PCOOL option, it's well worth it for only $750.00

Hi Lyle,

Many thanks for the tips and tricks on the HAAS TM-1P. I checked out your website and you have crafted some really beautiful stuff.

Keep up the good work and look forward to our communication as time goes on.

John,
Are you selling them?

Thanks for the comp John:)

I like your site also, you have some very usefull information that i used to make adjustments to my 450 today.

We'l be talking to ya soon.

Yes, I have a few left. I sent you a PM with the details.

I have attached a few pictures of my new toy. It has a full enclosure 6000 rpm spindle, programmable coolant, rigid tapping, tool changer, wireless part probing and tool setting capabilities, chip auger and fully capable of 3 Axis CNC machining. It is almost as adictive as R/C Helicopters.

Lyles machine is similar to mine except his has the 4th axis. I am now jealous as that is a very expensive option that will allow you to do some really neat stuff. Well, there is always next Christmas.

Hi Lyle,

Here is a picture of the balancer in action. I have found that it fits not only the 14MZ but most other Futaba models as well as other mfg's radios.

I fit one to my buddies new 10C and had to offset the spacer hole a little and it fit perfect.
Very nice part!
