Yes please Rob. But can you also do cheap shipping to Europe? I've a feeling that postage would be more than the bronze sleeves...

Rob, sounds good. will be looking for the finished product.

Ask and you will receive

They are now available, www.rmqproducts.com now its time for me to get out in the shop and make some more!

Take it easy,
Rob

Very nice, but heat shrink is a bit cheaper and caused me no issues during 700 flights.
I am in the build now, but i will be probably making the tail this weekend so it is too late anyway.
I bought the TDR because it does not need any upgrades, but i see the clever people always find something worth improving.

I just mounted the silver Vbar to the dual mount, i like the bottom part, Spektrum connectors are clear out of the nylon posts.
I done the dual mount 2 years ago, with miniV and it was tight fit because of the posts.

I just wonder what it will be next.
I need to mount YGE with heatsink and it does not fit inside the frame, so i will need to make some holes in the frame, make some frame mounts and solder it directly to the motor...

Rob I hope you get more dual mounts soon, I'd like to try one out, looks nifty!!

Groucho_ · 06-18-2012, 05:04 AM

I got mine today and installed them...

I wonder why something like this isn't part of the default kit. The heat-shrink tubes, though functional, do seem a bit out of place on the TDR.

Thanks Rob

Can you post photos of yours

Thanks Groucho, they look awesome, i will order some.

Groucho_ · 06-18-2012, 11:50 AM

Yes, they do look better than heat-shrink.

I also polished them with displex. A plastic polish for old nokia-type mobile phone screens.

That made them shinier and smoother, which I'm assuming can't hurt...

Only downside is I don't know how reusable they are. It depends if you're able to get them off the carbon rod. I have CA debonder, but I didn't feel like experimenting.

I have some on the way as well, did you use thin CA or medium CA?

Groucho_ · 06-18-2012, 11:53 PM

I used super-thin CA because that is what I have...
