Arduflyer side pins

[Royston]

Hi guys
With the Arduflyer side pins do you need to cut them down as they protrude quite a bit and will probably make soldering trickier.
Also without cutting them will they still fit in an APM case
Cheers

Hi Roy,

They should not be cut at all. I suspect you';re assuming the orientation is to lay the black plastic flat on the board - this is incorrect (and imo, counter-inutitive).

See Jumpy07';s pic here http://www.multi-rotor.co.uk/index.php?topic=597.15

EDIT: I just got my side-entry case and they fit very snuggly indeed

Brilliant
Thanks for that.
You';re right. Incorrect assumption.
Couldnt find any images showing connections.
Thanks again
Roy

I mounted the angled pins incorrectly. They were a complete sod to unsolder, and sourcing a replacement set was a time-consuming process (located a long strip of them on Amazon in the end!).
