Folks,
First orders are going out today... we received over 300 orders for these kits WOW. It has brought my shop down to a crawl with invoicing and such. But no worries!!!
Also, some freebies we sent out Monday came back to us with not enough postage. I did not realize until yesterday that postal fees went up. No worries. They will be going with today’s mail.
Also, for those of you building our kits: I have received a few emails and phone calls about how to assemble them with regard to the rotate linkage; the questions asked - that it interferes with the bracket - hitting it as it rotate. First, our bracket should allow about .03” clearance when it rotates.
Some of you have sent pictures and we did notice the servo arm is not at the right alignment. When asked if you can extend the linkage, 50% of said you can’t. So, we went back to the shop and played around for a few hours and came up with a solution:
To make it work we highly recommend you move the rotate linkage to the front, and not to the rear - nearest to the bracket. See attached picture. In some cases, you might have to rotate the servo 180 degrees.
If this is not possible because of programming / routines already completed (as several of you stated) we will be including two rotate linkages. See attached drawing. We will not be charging for these - but they will be mailed out early next week. This will give you the ability to either go rear or front with the rotation arm, and yet, provide enough clearance regardless of the rotation and length of linkage.

Sorry for the mishap and confusion, but this should solve the problems with interference, linkage lengths, and programming.
Thanks
