Default Re: Wanco vertical mast arrow board

Thanks again man! This is a really sharp trailer.

I'm not great at backing trailers in RC, so i threw on a tongue extension link. Not playing that in Expert Mode. (Erm wait, i mean "So that i can use it with other trucks that have more overhang past the hitch")

I soldered a couple chunks of brass box-tube into a square, made a crossbar so it can hinge at the board. Punched some wire holes under trailer. Roughed and epoxy putty the mast to trailer. Dropped some phone-cord through to get blinky and direction up top with On/Off and Right/Left switches down at battery box.

Once I got to that point decided before i paint the mast, i probably needed to make a lever on the mast with a linkage to move the board between Vertical / Horizontal.
Somehow it stalled again at: cut a slot in mast, solder a 90 to bottom of board, drill a couple holes, insert a couple pins and run a linkage.

Part of me wants to find reference pics to do it 'Correct' style, the other says Just Send It! If board goes up/down happy you're good, bonus if it latches.
