A mere 2 years after all the parts arrived, I've finally finished Cyklos...

All in at 73.0g, so might even get some armour on it. Slight problem though, I don't know how to turn the brake off the ESC, so every time I throttle down quickly, this happens....

That is a suitably silly disk, what Speedo are you using?

I have also got the legs running on my flea, I had to put in some slower motors due to the friction in the cams. Need to solder in the electronics this evening, not much more needed now.

This could be a very silly cluster...

It could cope with a heavier disc, there's a lot of weight to be saved on the rx and speedo as the current ones are quite large, but that would have meant buying new a new Speedo and receiver, and cutting a new disc, so I stuck with what I had. It vibrates a lot at low speed, but seems fine at full speed, like it used to when it was on Randar. Andy, any chance I could borrow your prop balancer on the day? Haven't seen mine since I cut this disc about 6 years ago...

Its a HobbyKing 10a speedo, and fortunately I now know how to turn the brake off.
