    Hey Mate, glad to have inspired someone :) Looking good so far! Only recommendation i can give is to try and get the angle where the rose joints bolt up to in line with the angle of the actuators. i've been meaning to fix this but both times ive had the frame off i have forgotten haha. Just means at standby position (50%) you will have full range of movement available without the joint binding or hitting its limits. Not that i've really noticed it but if it does hit its limits it will be stressing alot of other components unnecessarily. Also don't bother with those pillow ball mounts on the bottom of my actuators haha, failed experiment :p. Good luck with the build.
