I deal with flight controllers alot, the bottom of the gyro should also be mounted on something that reduces resonance. Resonance is something that travels through the entire air frame, we usually mount the flight contoller on a flat carbon plate that has dampeners under it
For sure! The gyros get mounted to a plate with thin double sided foam. these hush boxes reduce resonance picked up by the gyro rudder channel. The foam under the gyro takes care of the vibration through the mounting plate.
Yea I think there is so many dang good uses for it! i'm just starting to explore the capabilites but so handy! Need a little wood piece made. take a few min to draw it out. 30 seconds to laser it and done!
dubbel click your layers and put it on one pass., and design goes better in Fusion 360 then in Lightburn. Foam i buy at cosplay shops because most of them sell it cheap and in big sheets. Enjoy lasering.
Thank you so much for the input! I think next time I do it I also won't have the perimeter lines touch like I did here. Cut out as separate pieces with a small 1-2mm space between. Thank you!
Ooof, ifs been a minute since I last watched a video yours, crazy how chill the mind gets just watching you do your thing and sharing it all. Curious 🤔, I noticed you sprayed the accelerater onto the CA glue instead of the opposite side, it that cus the foam would absorb the accelerater too quickly? My newbie brain would have thought spray the accelerater onto the glue would have hardened it up right away. Super fun learning new little tricks. 🙂
Thanks for watching! The accelerator sprayed on the ca will kick it off on the outside layer right away. When you join the two layers the ca gets past this and the kicker reacts with the new glue. The kicker evaporates very quickly and as this is closed cell foam the amount absorbed is very little to nil.
@@thelightersideofrc Thanks for the reply, though I'm still a bit like 🤔🤔🤔🤔. Normally I've seen you ca one side, join it up, then spary the fit up. Which is what I've always done as well. Though this time you sprayed the ca directly then joined the parts up. Thought maybe it's because of the material type that a different application process is needed 🤔.
Does weight ever become a factor when you're custom designing and making addon parts? Or the larger the aircraft the less important it is, just getting the CG sorted out is all that matters?
Hi🙂 I really like the videos you are posting👍 Your sense for details are amazing! I have a question regarding the superglue bonding technique in this video. Why do you use accelerator directly on top of the glue instead of opposite bonding surface? Thank you for å great channel👍 Best regards Rune Eilertsen NORWAY
Thanks Rune. I like to spray the kicker onto the glue. Cures the outside layer. When you press together the outside layer will crack and they inside glue will comeout an react with the kicker. Seems to work good!
You have to be really cautious about what materials you decide to laser cut. A lot of foams and plastics, especially PVC will create extremely toxic gases. you want to have a good ventilation no matter what, but some of the stuff can literally poison you .
Purchase the Falcon 2 unit here!

Such a cool TooL!

Is a cool laser!!!
Thanks!
Don't forget to account for curf. The cut width.
👍
wow wood be fun to work with too
Definitely!
Wow, that is cool! 😄
Totally hey! such a cool tool!
Nice peice of kit and means ya can do it in house.😊
You got that right!
Good 👍 stuff !
Thanks 👍
I could really use that machine. To make ribs and battery trays servo trays. Yep just convinced myself

@@thelightersideofrcdoes the channel get a little bit of the money if I purchase it via Amazon?
For sure! Just use the link in description
Any special add-ons you have for this Jon?
Airpump I think is standard. I also got the Cylinder device which I havent used yet. Hood cover with exhaust fan.
@@thelightersideofrc Did it come with the honeycomb?
@@williamb.9110 yea. The honeycomb and metal plate for under.
try doing an sr-71 jet engine, but make the bypass mode primary and edf as secondary on the side
That's an interesting idea! Thanks!
Great video 👊🏼
Thanks for watching
Soooooooo, is the X1C review coming up sooooooon? With a referral link as well 😏.
Possibly but no referral link unfortunately

what model is that canada jet? would like to look it up
That is a CARF Hawk and it's a One of a Kind Scheme.
oh nice, it just looks cool as heck
Can you make me one for L39?

with planes your generally always striving for as light as possible overall but CG is what ultimately matters.

That haze is possibly hydrochloric acid if that foam is PVC
So don’t breathe deep!

For sure! Thank you.
And the chlorine gasses produced will instantly corrode all of the metal in your laser cutter. I know this from experience cutting vinyl stickers.
You have a peculiar pronunciation of "project". Are you perhaps Canadian?
You bet.
