Gemfan Pop Up Race Gate Stabilizer

thingiverse

I was really frustrated that the gates are incredibly easy to blow over, even with a slight breeze. That's why I designed these stabilizers and they work amazingly well! I put them to the test racing in 5-6 bft winds and there wasn't a single problem with these gates! Check out my flight video from a windy day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf15o_vN2Wg I'm not sure how long they will last, as I've only tested them for one full day. They seem to hold up just fine though. Printed in PLA, other materials might last a bit longer. To use them, you can easily pop them on to the fiberglass pole and slide them down from the top - they can't go further down once in place. Use the default pegs and mount it through one of the holes into the ground, done. You can slide them back up the fiberglass pole before collapsing the gates for transport, and leave them on if you like. It's also possible to detach them completely, just pull them off of the fiberglass pole. You don't need to unscrew anything, they're really easy to use. Let me know what you think!
