Dread Locks


For a variety of reasons I don't like this as a satisfactory means of mounting motors, or at least in its current form, but principally because it increases the depth of the upper drone unduly when it comes to transporting it. I shall therefore revert to those lateral stubs pictured a few posts ago, extending fore and aft in the same plane as the frame itself. Worthwhile exercise in itself however and better to admit defeat now than after the show is on the road. The appearance of the overall frame I like a lot, the bedknobs not withstanding. At every stage in prototyping though you have to ask yourself firstly, "How practical is this?" besides the "Why am I wasting my life in this way?".
