Final changes to the design ready... Changed the flipper hinges to a simpler piano hinge type, I'm assuming it will be up to the job! It shall be a medium duty 4mm pin hinge.

The self-righter mechanism was the biggest headache - but I think I have a simpler more effective system now...took some advice from posts on this build and came up with a Linkage/Slide/Cable system... from its description, it does not sound simple at all! But since I have almost all the parts required already - then it's very doable..

In theory it should work...now I just hope that in the end it does its job! :wink:



These are the parts, two links and the slider. The slider is pulled by a cable connected the the flipper arm and slides down the guide, then returns back by means of two flat power springs.



Slider parts: Slide and cable, power springs, guide.
