Show Notes

It’s been three weeks or maybe 4?? I finally got a method for holding Zog steadily in the air as it flies up and over onto Lower Zig Zag 3F and el Lifty Lever Guider.

Today after about three weeks of false starts, I finally got everything sorted out so I could get Zog flying. In previous weeks, there were issues with holding Zog firmly in place, with a minimum of armature, which could be easily removed from the frame.

Magnets from an old hard drive hold the horizontal stick in place.

Glued to that stick is a stick terminated with an alligator clip.
Without the glue, the clip was bending under the weight of Zog down there.

The third part was having a long vertical stick, so that I could move Zog completely out of the way to take a frame without Zog.

Here are the frames taken today, more than half of which were removed / merged with others to make Zog fly:
