I've been checking that link for the last couple of days. They finally came back in stock today...
I got a black and a blue... ;-)
Cool...my handle in lights. too bad this might be my 15 seconds of fame. I anxiously await it being offered for sale.
Just one note...there's 1 too many "]" in that link.
moresalt,
Sorry, I had to do real stuff today, but I've finally double-checked, adjusted, and uploaded the updated moresalt cradle. I've increased the the side clip heights by a total of 1.5mm, which I think will make it a whole lot easier to run your wires between the board and the cradle. If you'd like to beta-test the cradle, let me know and I'll open it up for you. But please remember, it is a beta, which inherently comes with risks
Does anyone have any experience with the FT dna clone boards? Better yet, does anyone know of a vendor selling YiHi chipsets other than the SX350?
Sorry to intrude but what software are you using to produce these parts?
Besides finding a great cradle that I plan to use in my mod, I've discovered the concept of shapeways which would have come handy years ago when I spent days programing a hobby cnc to produce one or two parts that I've could have done in a couple of hours if that company existed (and I would know about it)

I used that to design a base for my fish tank (300L).Tony, I'm using SketchUp Pro from google
Never tried it for small pieces though. Thanks for the info.
One day when my kids FINALLY grow up a little, I might return to my life hobby (rc sail planes and helis) and this will become really really handy for producing servo trays and other parts.
Among my collection, I have a 30 year old glider that was offered to me by a dear friend. It's worth nothing but has a sentimental value to me. Unfortunately, the canopy is broken and no replacement is available (obviously). I have been thinking into making my own through vacuum process but it's messy and requires some investment. Making a 3D model would be an awesome alternative
Back to topic: my mini hana is still in transit. Once it arrives, I'm going to measure the inside Bay to see if your cradle fits this version

Thanks, Steamer861... I'm really looking at something 20-30W. A genuine DNA 40 will be more than enough for my high-power needs. I'm also looking for something 20ish watts to replace the dead board in my iStick. But my second box I just purchased will probably get a 30W chipset. Just not sure which one yet but would like to keep it under $40.

Tony,
Tangent - my kids are in their teens, one is in college, and it is nice to finally have a little more me time to do what I like. My youngest son received a heli last year for Christmas, but lost the wall charger before I got a chance to try it, so I recently ordered a new charger and new 3.7V battery for it. I can't wait to play with it
On Topic - I've seen pics of the mini with the DNAx in it, and for it to fit, it has to be installed in on an angle. So I have a feeling that a cradle is not doable
But I'll wait for further info from you before I call it I just saw questions about wow Guage fire the dna switches, I just thought I'd add that on one of my DNA40s I used the wires out of telephone cable, worked great, cones with 6 or 8 different colors. Here's part of my wiring job..:

About the dna: yeah, I just went through a lot of pics of mini hana's and you're right. They all are mounted at an angle... I'm screwed.
I'll report back when I get the mod.
Thx for the heads up

DNA30 all put together...well I have to glue in the charger but everything else is done. Having the wires underneath the DNA makes it a bit cleaner, but boy is that a PITA to get the wires the right length!

tchavei, I'm sorry, I wish I could have helped more with your mini build
For me, the whole reverting to a kid comes in waves. I guess surfs up, LOL!
moresalt, SWEET! Nice job.

Just curious, what's the difference. I have a SX350 board in my homebuilt mod. It might as well be a 20 watt mod because I rarely, if at all, run it any higher. I feel that if the board fits where I want to use it it's good.
