I now put a little RC silicone shock oil on the servo arm, this keeps it slipery for the bands to come off easier.<br /><br />As for the sand paper i used a course P80 to start and moved to a p120 and p200 grit afterwards checking the fit as i went on, its by no means quick but it does the job right. :)<br /><br />Regeards DougAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00467175462959588962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4536414899963354539.post-16554041368623532292011-07-18T09:17:02.598+01:002011-07-18T09:17:02.598+01:00Looking good Doug. :) Good explanation video too o...Looking good Doug. :) Good explanation video too of the deployment mechanism. <br /><br />When you put the first rubber band around the skewer stick and hooked it onto the motor, I noticed that the nosecone was just sitting there without deploying, as if the other side was caught on something. The nosecone should be set up so that either side coming off should deploy the parachute. Perhaps the spring wasn't strong enough, or the nosecone is a tight fit on the ring sitting on the base and was getting caught. <br /><br />Great suggestion in getting the corflute disks circular. I too have a problem in getting them cut out nicely. :) Do you just use regular sand paper?<br /><br />Good luck with the flights.George Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735356042927822858noreply@blogger.com
