Lama Cargo Hook

The system is only as strong is it weakest link, however it has not presented itself. Fusion360, Formlabs 4 using Black V5 resin. 1.5mm stranded cable with compression eyelets.

Multiple telemetry sensors

VSpeak and Futaba 32MZ

Is there someone that can speak to the compatibility of the VSpeak, Jakadofsky and Futaba 32MZ?

I am struggling to get the sensors to register.

Curious what larger scale builders are using for navigation lights. I am familiar with Unilights. Any other options and/or recommendations?
