How about a quick tip episode that goes into some detail on what a person just getting into scratch building needs to have available? The motors/esc's/servo's/etc are pretty self-explanatory, but when it comes to the 'simple' things, I can't seem to get a great answer from the sites I've dug around in (and asked questions of). Things like:
- push rods (what do you use? alternatives to purchased rods)
- How to mount a !@#$ prop on an electric motor (this one took me quite a bit of digging before the obvious answer surfaced....and even now I don't know how to do the 'rubber band' trick)
- Maybe a list of 'stuff' a scratch builder needs (servo extension cables, pushrods, pushrod bender, clevis's, types of glue, etc)
- I loved the 'crash kit' episode from last year, how about a 'build kit' vid to show what you need to get started in your own designs?
Thanks for a great site/great vids and for promoting the hobby! Hope my feedback helps.
