Linear Actuators

Post date: Mar 23, 2012 2:17:15 PM

I haven't 100% decided what I am going to use to move the locking pin for the door. I am playing with the idea of just making my own linear actuator. Partially because I am stubbornly DIY*, partially because it seems fun and partially because I saw a really neat tutorial on how to do it that makes it look reasonably easy.

Another really good discussion of it is found here and some really tinsey pre-made ones are here at a good price.

Apparently making tiny ones for your RC planes is actually pretty common. One of those 'of course' things that you never thought of until someone pointed it out.
