So... what's on your bench at the moment?

You do know they unscrew as its a rear with a handbrake?

I’ve got a rewind tool if you want a borrow @MartG1960

Yes - even using the rewinding tool to unscrew it I needed a breaker bar to shift it.

I’ve just accepted the fact that getting it out is going to cause further damage to the piston, so ordered a new pair ( I suspect the other rear caliper is in similar condition )

The good news … the red paint is in good condition. :wink:

Was just checking but you do know what your doing and you have the right tools :+1:

From experience rear hand-brake calipers don’t repair very easily :frowning_face: and end up a nightmare

Does this mean you’ve been lost to the Heli Hover brigade Steve? :hushed: :laughing:

No… No… No… quads and wings still rule the skies :laughing:
(just another toy to tear my hair out with)

Haha well it’s a cool new toy :star_struck: so will you be doing the 3D flying :wink:

LOL :laughing: not for a while, a long long while… @notveryprettyboy would not forgive me if I mastered that before ACRO quad flying

If it’s the one that came with the DJI FPV Drone it won’t work unfortunately…

You’ll need this one:

To bind with the Air unit. Or a 3rd party radio with compatible receiver.

Awesome, look forward to seeing this go together :+1:t2:

Yup thats the one i have…cheers… tho i got the other one too for my dji fpv drone.

Oh, nice! I’ve liked the look of that frame for a while. Keen to see how you get on :+1:

I thought I’d try something a bit different… early days yet.

Good old raspberry pi :grin:

What you got planned for it? I use one on my ender 3 v2 running occtoprint :slightly_smiling_face:

Thought it’s about time I got on with this wing, it sat in storage for a few years now, I can’t remember when I bought it.
Long storage has been a life saver as I discovered that the servo horns glue has failed. The horn was dangling on the push rod…:scream:

On closer inspection it’s just about visible to see the tiniest glue residue dubbed on “like 2 little spots”. This was an incident waiting to happen, not only was the glue rationed, the ESC blew when I connected the RX…the servos were not connected when it blew…:scream:

Stay clear of “AroStar” ESC’s…


Had to rewire a Tunigy 60A


The glue had failed over the storage period…

The clue is in the logo on the 3D print.
I thought someone on here might recognise it.

I run them on my Prusa Mini and Monoprice Mini in the same way.
