Flight Test System Configuration2.0

Just thought I would throw this gear up here as well just for fun :-)
It is too cool to just sit there gathering dust !

Ver. 1.2 - Forearm Rocket Platform

This shows the mechanism from the servo side so you can see the action better, and a better view of the polarity changing switch. Think of the rocker switch you use for your power windows in your car. Same deal here. This can also be done by a non-lobotomized servo and a servo controller to give you the exact travel you want from the servo AND it is triggered by a simple tap switch. Touch it once, it goes up, again and it goes back down to rest. I will be doing it this way more than likely, its just that I had these old micros kicking around for the proof of concept.

Ver 1.2 - Forearm Rocket Bay

Ok, video #1 (RocketSystem.mov) shows the prototype for the rocket platform
This was made with scrap parts from my man-cave, and an old servo that I lobotomized, and finally a DPDT switch that is wired to switch polarity. Will provide all schematics for wiring the switch setup, templates for the linkage and how to place the servo.
