Alternative Taranis Q X7 M7 gimbal ring

Alternative Taranis Q X7 M7 gimbal ring

Description

After upgrading the stock gimbals to M7 on my Taranis Q X7, I found the old rings a bit dull. Additionally, I didn't like the recess that reveals more of the silver ring plastic caused by the fact that the M7 gimbals sit a few mm lower, or at least the plate is lower than the internal ring on the stock gimbals. So I designed an alternative ring. This one gives an impression of being a bit bigger, because the 45 degree slope starts right above the gimbal plate and the walls on the top are a bit thinner. This eradicates the tunnel-like look created by the stock ring together with the M7 gimbal. Also the upper wall is shaped according to the upper face of the radio.
