i know this is a double post but im putting it here in case others find this thread and not the other one.... thx guy for the thread find:
btw gang, kudos to capt bill for the pvc idea but i couldnt find that thread so im posting here. the pvc works fantastic...
i wanted additional takeoff and landing clearance but didnt want to lose the ability for my two existing cases (one hard and one soft, but both requiring original landing skids). so i did capt bill's pvc idea, here is my results:
i cut 1/2" sections of 1.5" PVC. sanded the edges to avoid issues with gimbal wires. made a single slit through it. the tension of the ring with one slit holds it tight and the width of the pvc fits perfectly in the groove of the landing gear. the added bonus is that it takes seconds to install/uninstall and if i 'unclip' them (but instead of pulling them off i basically let them ring around the landing gear like rings on your finger, then they stay in place during transport and dont get in the way of the case. here is a pic in the 'transport' mode:
it has been working fantastic and i have basically the same landing footprint i had before. thanks capt bill! you rock dude. |
