That’s really nice. It may even be closer to the original spirit of the FW3A than the real thing. I’m curious though… did you flash the driver or use it stock? There are builds of Anduril for that driver if you want one.
Thanks. I used what I had on hand - a stock Emisar D4 driver with the switchwire connected to a brass ring sitting on the spring side, insulated of course.
Deep from the abyss, now comes this photo of the FW3A with the Emisar in the center.
Note: It’s not the final ‘tint’ of the anodisation yet, still in ‘Host’ form (more greenish than grey), but at least you’ll believe this project is on track and it’s coming our way sooner than later:
Edit: The photo might not be a final representation of what will become the production version.
It’s more for the purpose of showing that this project is very-much alive and hopefully bring hope to those fellow members who are losing enthusiasm because of the looong wait.
At the moment I only have the photo, so please bear me my friend. If I answer your question, it will only be speculative so I am not qualified to answer in a responsible manner haha.
I have no trouble being speculative : it looks to me that both head and tail are not screwed down and that you can see o-ring grooves and maybe how the inner tube is sitting in the shell (how exactly that fits in I can not figure out.
With the parts unscrewed to the point of being completely loose, it can be made to look similar to the photo. I don’t know how the parts are being held in position though, since gravity makes it fall together a bit more than that in the prototypes.
