I finaly god fed up with the usless integrated STA in my Halcyon wing, so I decided to think up something to replace it. I didn't want a cludge from the hardware store, I wanted a real STA. So I opened up my CAD program (MS Paint!) and started jotting down a layout.
10 minutes later I had a good idea of what would be involved. So I took advantage of my mothers work having a full machine shop. Lucky me!
Laser cut, machine bent.. here are the results. It clears the t-nut by less than an 1/8th of an inch, fits on well with my homeade channel weight.. and its rock solid.
