I didn't see a lot of options for Taranis QX 7 gimbal guards so I created this one. The bridge between the gimbal guards sits fairly low and level, which is by design, as I wanted it to be able to be about flush to the lanyard hook. The notch is supposed to be tight so it can hold the protector in place. This model require supports to print, but it's not too bad- a little over a 2 hour print at .30 on my printer.

The notch cut out may be a little bit of a tight fit so it holds the gimbal guard in place. If you need to widen it, you can easily cut a little away with a hobby knife, or a small file.

Update - there are two styles of the gimbal guard protector. The original one (V3) allows the sticks to protrude slightly (about 5mm) above the guard. After getting some feedback on the design, I made another version (v3-high) that should keep the sticks completely covered. This will add extra protection so the sticks can't be pushed in easily. Disclaimer: I haven't printed this new version yet, but all I did was increase the height, so it should be fine. If you try it, please post a "make" here. The "high" version will only take an additional 15 minutes or so to print according to my slicer.

I am open to feedback on this design. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improving!
