I appreciate the genius - I thought to myself "I'll use that tip next time", and then I thought "actually I can't be bothered with the inner tube thing, I'll just use a condom by itself, or those long thin kids balloons we've got somewhere".

So...repairs made to Luna, just need to sort out the paint next, perhaps just a Black stripe under the wing?.
I decided against the multiplex green plugs as space is a bit limited unless i extract the ballast tube and move it to the Fuz floor...which i may yet do :)
However, putting it all together again to adjust the 'phase' settings, and b*gger me if one of the flap servos didn't decide that it was giving up the ghost >:(
Now it worked last night when i was showing it off to a neighbour, so what the 'kinell is that all about :(.

I'm getting right narked I can tell you  :banghead:

Time to dremel out the old servo and drop a new one in tomorrow

I was using a mountain bike inner tube. I thought about the water filled bag but didn't like the idea of a leak. Now I use a bag of lead shot that conforms to any shape within reason. I bought 3 kilo of lead from a dive shop when I was in WeYmouth.

Well that was easy enough, i dremelled out the old servo just a bit, then felt a bit of movement, out with the pliers and it dropped out.

Why did you have to Dremel it? I wrap my servos in tape so can cut the tape, ease ( :xx ) out the servo and then clean out the tape.

Yup, didn't come out at first twisting attempt, so rather than damage the skin I thought I'd conduct a 'forcible remove'  :af
