This is really great to see!
I have tried those ball screws and found they rust easily. My understanding is they are using 400 series alloy rather than the 316 variety. We would be better served with 316 since the load is not that high. In any case I would keep lots of grease on it and ensure the box remains water (and as airtight) as possible.
If water enters in the siding seal, does it drain back out? Do you think it would make sense to use even smaller belts on the rudder feedback? How much backlash is there?
My favorite actuator moves 150mm/s. This is most useful at higher speeds and surfing waves. It is easy to make it move slower by changing some settings in pypilot for lightwind.
do the end stop switches engage in time? Do you need to add a spring or something?
