Nice work Tom! You were giving it hell before the crash!

 

[SnowDog]

well, that really was an awkward hit right on the rail...ouch.

 

[Olie]

I just did a full rebuild of my 48" Edge due to rather crap weather over the last week or so.

It got a once over check for cracks, and quick CA around the motor box.

The Omega 130 had a quick clean and oil of its bearings.

Servos were stripped out and checked for centring, slop and their mounts checked.

Cabling was tidied and finally a good once over with a microfibre cloth to clean off all of the mud for a couple of, errrrrrrrr, messy landings in the rain

I took a couple of quick pics, but that was before I cleaned her :facepalm:

Cabling


Wing Cabling, they get removed for transport, so I use slightly rugged connections

Wow, she looks good as new! I like the servo sheathing!

 

[Olie]

Sheathing was a test more than anything.

I can happily get 3x Servo wires into it, so when I move up to something larger, it will make cable management a breeze!

 

[wade]

Where did you get the sheathing and what size is it?

 

[Olie]

It is 4mm Sheathing from RS components.

Stock code: 187-4616

Nice wiring job buddy did you learn that trick from Hamish and the heli boys

 

[Olie]

Nah, its how we do it at work, although we use wire braid to hold it all together there.
