Folks,
Updates on orders: I am up to 107 orders (with half of them purchasing +3 or more kits) I spent the better part of yesterday processing about half of them. Invoices and the like will be going out this evening with the balance of orders (invoices) going out over the next few days. My goal is to ship out product as they are paid within 48 hours.

Also, we received a shipment of 10-32 Rod Ends for the Axis Rod. They are very tight (drag) to the point they will cause the servo's to work harder. I am sending them back and we will going with a different supplier. These rod ends wont be in until May 13. So some orders will be delayed until then. (I have 79 good rod ends in stock). I just ordered an additional 200.


I am going to do another production run later this week on plates and axis rods.

I am glad to see many of you are purchasing Bucky kits!!! Long live the bucky!!!

Gym-
Pictures aren't working at all...


RBC-
No, that's not the bracket I was talking about. I AM using the same bracket to attach the plate to the controlling rod. But, the one I am talking about connected the servo linkages to the controller rod. Looks like the Nod/Tilt (not the rotate servo) are both connected to a single, L-Shaped piece. The servos have the black linkage, but then connect to the l-shape piece which is connected to the controller rod. So the linkages are black, but then the piece in question is a whitish color in the video. Know what I mean?

Gym, pictures are working now!

Oh man- I TOTALLY would have bought this kit, knowing now what I know! Just cutting the plate itself out is worth saving the hassle and buying it. Shoot- I might just buy it anyways and replace what I've got- or, add in another couple of characters. Dang, that looks AWESOME.

They do look good, great pic's. Looking forward to getting the invoice and making this a done deal. Great job GG

Thanks for the kind words. Just feel bad it took so long. This move to the new building hurt us and with our server problem, just more gas on the fire. But going forward, it should be better.

In my opinion, the kits are the way to go. I am shocked with how many people are buidling them!!!! I am going to do another production run later in the week. Just ordered the materials to do it. I just hope they dont come alive or something, there will be an Army of 3-Axis Skull taking over the country...

Great pics Joel! I can't express the appreciation we all have for your hard work on the R&D for this kit.

Question: Since, blinky is putting together a full kit including your kit and all the other stuff (skull, servos, linkages, etc.) needed to build the entire prop, am I ok waiting for that to be ready, or should I order from you now? In other words, do I need to be worried about available stock and/or pricing for your kit?

Blinky, I welcome your input on this as well!

Thanks again!

let me look at the video again Lol brb

I'm sorry I don't know what video you are watching I don't see any arm like thing in Jacks video do you have a link? are you sure it was jack video you were watching there are so many . if you can post a link I will try and help you.

Sure- it's the '3 Axis Pirate Skull Test' video- YouTube - skygodtj's Channel

When he is filming from the top, and moves the wires out of the way, you can see a clear shot. Maximize the video to be full screen and you'll see it clearly...
