FrSKY Taranis X9E

Thanks Brian,

That was where I was going to order from too, I'd hoped you'd found some where closer, I could not justify 15,76€ postage for a 0.79€ item :pinch:

I put the gimbals in at the end of November without the adaptor rings, and the looks don't bother me, but if they come up at a reasonable price it would be nice to finish off the job.

Thanks again, Chris

Hi Chris, they must've hiked up their postage rates! I wonder if someone in the Club could print some rings? I can't remember who took over Frank's 3D printer.
The spacer rings from RC Studio are 3D printed. The rings are flanged to stop them falling out, and all they do is fill the gap. I wonder if 1/8"(3mm) tape could be wound round the location "boss" on the gimbal, painted black before assembly. Fiddly but fun!

You're right Brian, I've just tried again it's now 15,43€ P&P I'd be curious to know how you got a different postage rate, you must have contacts and persuasion on your side

Anyway, it's only an aesthetic thing so I'm happy to leave it as is.

I'll check out what I paid for the spacers Chris. In the meantime, don't eat biscuits while you're flying with the x9E, don't want crumbs in the gaps.

Is this a new word for an illustrated obituary?

Dead right!

Stuart

I don't think that either of you will get packing rings now, better stick with your old fashioned R/C gear.

Thanks Kevin, I'll hope to have a drawing for you later in the week, and you can see if it's doable.

All the best, Chris

Improved "suspension" arms. They don't fold, but they do fit inside the carry case.
