Waiting for the bits to make the electronics tray and the servo horns. IF they ever come, I have about one hour of time needed before I can maiden her. Getting excited

They show up for me now. Where's the VBar sensor? Is it buried under the rat's nest? If so, make sure none of the wires are touching the sensor enclosure.

Experience is something you gain only after you need it.
I wouldn't mind social media so much if it didn't involve people.

Yes Bum, it's under that mess.

I need to clean up the wiring. No point doing so until I get the parts to make the second electronics tray. Have not decided to make the tray short (like Dan's) or leave it full sized. If I leave it full sized, I can mount the sensor and the rx on there and eliminate looping the power and s-bus wires over the frame.

Less usage of the braid might help too. I've really limited my use of it to the runs inside the frame where they could run against edges.
