Anyone know of a vertical servo mount

eh?

as in?

just screw it in as it fits

I need to stand it up "vertically"

and attach the mount to a flat base

nothing to screw it into yet

vertical like this https://vimeo.com/136165642

but right now i just jammed them into some cardboard with slits cutout

was hoping to find something off-the-shelf. Started modeling something, then the prices for 3d printing stuff turned out to be nuts

haha

just good old workshoping .. cut some wood or aluminium and mount it that way

cehteh, I'm stuck in an apartment with nothing tools-wise. Pair of scissors and a computer.

May start mooching off lab stuff at work, but I'm not that deperate yet

then just hotglue the servos to a wooden plate

huh. hotglues not a terrible idea

you may shrinktube the whole servos in advance

what's the advantage of the shrinktube?

Makes it easier to cut them out later?

hotglue holds better against shrinktube and you can remove them easier

cut the shrinktube done

that may work. Since exact positioning is pretty critical, I was hoping to have something machined to hold better tolerances.

But if I'm careful, could be good enough

make some template with exact position marks and angles

then you can place them quite exactly with hotglue

btw why dont you mount them flat, maybe on some spacer blocks

more surface for mounting

cehteh, true. For the aesthetic I was going for, the height just made stuff work out at the time since I didn't have spacers. https://vimeo.com/134567892

Means I need nicer spacers, though that probably gives me flexibility in itself

greetings :)

I'm considering getting one of those cheapish (~50$) mini rc helos.. I have a ~5 year old graupner remote, is there any way to pair this with one of those cheap helos? Is that even a good idea, or should I just use the remote that comes with the helo? At the moment, indoor living room flying only

ecraven: it would be more trouble than it's worth, the physical controls on those aren't very precise

ecraven: for the same reason, I recommend a 4+ channel heli
