Tiny Whoop Gate by darren_bergen

This is a Tiny Whoop gate that meets the multigp regulation.
It's a heptagon (7 sides polygon) made of 3-D printed joiners and Bamboo skewers. The bamboo skewers need the tip cut off and are bout 10" long.
Best results are to have the skewers glued in. Hot glue maybe best.
Alignment of skewers when gluing the whole gate together is critical.
To sit on the ground place a weight on the bottom crossbar. In my case I've used a very large washer (it is covered by the paper chevron in the second picture).
The skewers are hard to see in the FPV camer even when painted red. One could use fluorescent tape or attached leds.
I've provided a PDF of a chevron. Print, fold and glue. Again hot glue gun might be better as it has quicker set up time. The bottom of the gate is the same chevron print unfolded and glued to another plain sheet.
Cutting the skewer shorter will make a smaller gate.
