Nacelle Motor Wire Containment and Motion Fixes #11

Closed StephenCarlson closed 2 years ago

StephenCarlson commented 3 years ago

The current v1.0.x motor nacelle design allows for the motor wires to be scrunched into a bundle pocket as the motor tilt mount/pod retracts into the nacelle. However, this pocket isn't quite perfect, and the wires can get caught or nipped during movement, which could be disastrous to servo health and flight control. The wiring movement and containment needs to be improved.

Fixed in the new Version 2.1 Nacelle Design, pushed at 81abe56c47fa66ecf6d3cfdf3e897b6ba21a7ef4.
