Picture 1' is the FC Board in kit form, 2' show the tiny pins that needed soldering (pen nib gives an idea how small) 3' shows FC pin connectors ready for cable connecting, 4' shows penny as an idea of size of the FC board.  |

That looks like very tedious work....that requires great eyesight and a steady hand, Jim.

That looks like very tedious work....that requires great eyesight and a steady hand, Jim. I bet it does. But I have absolutely zero idea how all of the works and goes together.  Good luck tourerjim Can wait to see the final product. Zoom zoom. Clive |

Does need a very steady hand Helen, took about 2 hours was up at 5.30 with me pot of tea and set too, then set off about 7.30 for me mornings walk. Same here Clive, it's one of these ventures that takes time but will workout, spent many hours planning, although TV in every part of the house I personally don't watch any, don't sit still long enough  |

I am starting to see the resemblance to the wooden thread spool tank with matchstick and elastic band.  Just kidding. It looks neat. Please keep us posted. Clive |

Things have certainly changed since my youth building crystal radio sets with a cat's whisker ...

Question for you tourerjim .......Approximately how much time do you think you've spent on this so far? It is interesting to watch it starting to come together. |

Question for you tourerjim .......Approximately how much time do you think you've spent on this so far? It is interesting to watch it starting to come together. Good question Helen, researching alone takes me back to March with many pages of drawings so by start September I was ready to start ordering some parts, then Clive showed a vintage toy which gave me an idea to use DC worm geared motors (more Researching) to mount Drive motors & arms, I've just spent headache 3 days trying to programme motor controllers with Matek F765 WSE FC board using Ardurover/Mission Planner firmware., most of my thinkings done in me sleep as I don't have time during the days, though pot of tea also helps. |
