This is literally Saturday to Monday night.  Talk about some mondo progress.  That includes driving to and from Chicago!

Metal strips, hiding some naughty bits?

A skateboard truck for the non-emo kids in the group.

Precision is key, I need to know exactly how far I'll cut my thumb

Time to bust out the large vernier caliper.  The small one is only 6", this is 12".

A test mounting with the lazy susan actually mounted to the frame.

Creating a guide for the hole punch.

More building

My dad telling me being within 1/32" wasn't close enough.  It was 1/64".  (I eyeballed the 1/32" too!)

One of the giant power switches.  This is why I'm not an aerospace engineer, the airplane be built like a tank and the weight of one too.

A fully assembled skateboard mount.  It has 2 degrees of freedom.

Magical screws, no tapping required now!

Power switches mounted

Mounting of the wiring harness

Hey, look, I can do 90 degree drilling!

Rough layout

Look at that cut!

The mounting for the Gyro

The bottom of the mount.  I just realized I have to move the battery slightly!

If this wasn't a normal look for my apartment ...

The top of the skateboard.  I should have gotten the proper drill bit but something tells me hardware stores aren't open at midnight. 

The motor control fully mounted
