Kraton Self-made rear skid, rpm expansion

[Phamous]

Hi guys I had a little free time today, and made a Self-made skidplate/bumber and a self made wing mount.

I attached the rpm. Skid on top of it. I know it's gonna bend, if I hit it to hard. But doesn't bother me. I broke my wingmount all the time, and wanted a little more durable. Just can't convince myself to buy a wingmount that will break again. And if the rear skid-bumber bends, I I'll just bend it back ?

What material is that?

Aluminium, but its really hard. Don't know exactly what kind of, but it does the job. Would have like a stainless steel, but haven't had one around.

Did that bend require heat?

Did that bend require heat?

No it didn't. I used 2 Quick release, 2 big wood bricks to secure a lined up bend.


If you're interested or looking for the quality of aluminum. I can tell you it is not that hard, to be a really good solution for being a bumber, but I can live with that. As long as it helps a little.
