Servo finally arrived woo hoo!!! now, in the instructions it says "loctite" I'm assuming you mean thread lock? as loctite is a brand name and they make all sorts of stuff???

Yes, thread lock. I use Loctite like I use "Kleenex" for tissueOriginally Posted by chrisbrit81
Just like I use a "hoover" for vacuum cleaner tooYes, thread lock. I use Loctite like I use "Kleenex" for tissue
You use Loctite to wipe your nose? I wouldn't think that would work...Yes, thread lock. I use Loctite like I use "Kleenex" for tissue
Hello! I am setting my Platform for FPV (Wonderfull Derlin) I am planning to put the VTX and the Antenna in this position. I will put something to the antenna not to be loose in the air and I will add the VTX better in the Boom. Can you tell me if there is a problem by having it in this way? The antenna's cable is long, I made a bad bought and got this instead of the short one with the bottom RF Connector. Any other possible places to put it? Would be better if the Antenna is at the bottom?
This is how I am thinking on putting the components together. Control Board - StepUp - LCFilter - EzOSD bellow the Top Cover on the top of the upper part of the body. Bellow the top Cover and above the previous components is the EzOSD and the EzUHF Receiver next to each other. The Camera is in the bottom of the wooden frame and in the front and next to it between the camera and the battery is the Current Sensor. On the Top of the wooden frame in the front is the HD camera. Maybe I will add Tilt to the Camera but it is optional, I don't know if there is any use by using Tilt in a Tricopter. I need to know what you think for this and Correct me for my mistakes!
What do you think? Is This a good way to add them in the platform? Do I need to get some spacers to make it a little bit higher and add them like this?

At long last, my vibration dampening method is published...

There's still some R&D to be done and some ideas to test, but this dampens vibrations pretty good. Let me know what you think!
@MoralesD: You might want to (hot)glue those gyro's on your board. Just in case they don't pop their cap off when landing really really hard.
I've had that happen! Luckily it was the yaw gyro so when I took off again it just twirled and I just eased the throttle down and landed it.
Also! Reinforce the joint to the yaw gyro breakout board!
I've noticed that when flying when it's cold out that within a few minutes (as the gyros cool from room temp to 30 degrees) that they'll start drifting really badly and you have to land, zero out the throttle and then takeoff again to reset the gyros... covering them in hot glue helps insulate them from temp changes.

Yes thank you mates, I will hot glue the gyros. Besides that, the rest of the components are in the correct place? Will be any problem with the location that I pleased them?
First off, great thread! Just got my Delrin kit in the mail yesterday, still waiting on the booms and electronics. Can't wait to get airborne!
Has anyone found a good place to get the 20mm M2.5 screws for mounting the NX-4008? Tim, you said you ship your 4008s with the necessary screws, could you either sell just the screws on your site or post where you get them from? I had some NX-4008s on order from HK before I saw that you include themand now I can't find them.
Also, I remember reading some ways back that the prop adapters that ship with the 4008 are junk... is this right? Should I go ahead and order some better ones (if so, which ones?) or just see how they work?
I'm stepping down (or sideways perhaps) from the X650 V4 to the Delrin Tri until I can get a better handle on the whole multicopter gig. No sense in trashing a $600 CF rig with my dumb thumbs. Hopefully the simplicity and low cost of the Delrin will let me learn more and have more fun than I could on the more fragile/expensive X650.
In the meantime, enjoy this little flight I had with the X650... http://youtu.be/QBstfHvHe0o
