That looks nucking futs!

I saw in one pic you have a square movement limiter, but in the later pics they are round (unless the gimbal does the limiting)
Make sure you have a square limit of movement!

cheers Julian:)

The limiting is done within the gimbal. The CAM plate movement is limited by two screw heads. The round cut out is pure cosmetic, the stick won`t contact with it and will have square boundaries.

Thx chaps for your credit. If this prototype proves itself "airworthy" and reliable through a good amount of testing, then it will be possible to make a short run of it. I will keep you updated.

Hi Chaps,

just a quick work in progress update shot. All parts are finished, assembling is on the way. Steel parts are powder coated to RLM66 grey. It is all coming together really nicely:) Further update will follow soon.
