Another Option to DIY Extension Feet

[Rob Honiball]

This DIY is pretty cheap, about $15 CDN, which is what $3 USD?
Anyway the pics are self explanatory, 1/2" ID vinyl tubing, and a 4 pack of plastic furniture sockets, whatever they are supposed to be for, apparently Solo feet. Cut 4 peices of tubing 2 5/8", insert the furniture plugs, that's it.
They slip on firmly, can be removed easily, and the natural arc of the tubing off the roll orients the feet flat once installed. All in all gives you about another 1 5/8" of clearance, and quite light weight and flexible.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Ron- somebody else posted something similar a while back but I can't find it right now.

How do you like the Polar Pro led's?

Of course, blacked out version, how did I miss that, just added 50 cents to the material cost however, electrical tape and vinyl plotted logos.

Haven't had a chance to fly with the new lights Maddog, but I look at it this way, it's not going to cloak the Solo any, and with minimal battery resource requirement, the Polar Pro's are only going to add to the visibility, so why not, I don't need 1 km visibility just a little help until 3DR places an orientation icon on the display.

You had to go over the top, didn't you... Nice touch adding the 3DR logo. Great solution....!!!!!!!!!

Well I am divorced, so these ideas just come when you're 'flying solo'

Hi Rob where did you buy the plastic furniture sockets ,nice job.

 

[Rob Honiball]

Hi Voyager, that would be Home Depot in and around the hardware section where they have the felt feet for the bottom of chairs and tables.
And thank you

They are for chair and couch caster wheels but I think your statement was a rhetorical. lol
Any how they look much cooler as solo extender legs. Especially with the costume tape and label job.

Brilliant Mountain Man, Solo on casters, will get back to you with pics
