How did you make the hinge/support mechanism? It looks like you have an L-bracket with the hinge on the end of the short leg and the polycarb tubes attached to the long leg. Are the tubes holding up?

How long does it take for the arms to hit the top of the RC? It looks like about 2-3 seconds from the video. Do the arms fall using their own weight?

Thanks. See you at Bayou.
