Home again. Raided the post office for two packages…
One was the gear handle and cover, from Shapeways.com.
I just love seeing my 3D creations com alive…!
This is the plastic formerly known as ‘Strong&Flexible’. Now they call it ‘Versatile Plastic’ and they offer a ‘Premium’ surface treatment that removes almost all steps from the printing process.
I will paint the cover aluminium, but I think I’ll keep the handle white. Maybe with a clear coat, because…
Some dry fitting to see where to put the gear handle, and how much space there will be between the handles in a full flap and gear up situation.
I’d like to put in at least two switches between the handles.
So, this will be the layout.
I could add more switches or buttons, but it would just make it harder to find them as I fly in VR.
And even if a gear up/flap full situation isn’t that common, I don’t want switches that are hard to reach because of the gear or flap handles.
I need to know…
If I were to say ”It’s not for sale” or something like that, will there be a huge tooth-pick chewing mafia dude, all dressed in black, wearing shades even if it’s raining, on my doorstep tomorrow..?
