The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

The puny tail wheel assembly on my Flyzone Switch finally gave up the ghost last weekend. So I decided to replace it with a Sullivan Tail Wheel Assembly.

Had to use some balsa to beef up the mounting area. I think it will work well.

Used some E6000 glue to hold everything together. Hopefully it works out well. For a cheap little foamie, I really love flying this thing. Had it for several years and it’s still a hoot to fly.

love those tail wheels!! They actually work! ha ha. I wish GP still made their 1.25-5" hollow soft rubber tailwheels. They are discontinued now and I cannot seem to find one that isn't solid rubber or foam anymore. GPMQ4242 or GPMQ4243. They were light, provided cushion, and cheap.

I’ll check my inventory when I get to the shop this morning. I might have a few of those.

Looks like I got your hopes up for nothing. I don't have a single one left. Sorry brother. But I am going to look around some and see if I can scare any up.

Stumbled on to a new device looks really interesting and the price seems ok. Really like the Servo checker. What do you guys think of it or does someone have one.

They work really well. I’ve sold several of them. And if you have the new Spektrum lipos, you can really do some neat stuff with it.

Thanks for looking!

Would be interesting to see what that have added to the pack for all the diagnostics. Be interesting to see if it just small chip with some small leads soldered to the terminals.
