Hello Howard,

just examined your pics. Might be, you run into stability problems, due to
the total weight of the mecha. If using click hinges at this size you should
think about doubleing them.

One thought about yor pics. Please resize them. They load very slowly at this
size. If you don’t want to have smaller dimensions, try a compression rate of
85 to 90 with the JPG. This will decrease the memory amount.

Thanks for the input Marco! You are certainly right about the stability problems. I made a mock version of my quad, and it just keeps tipping over, so i’m working on that. My pics from the digitial camera come out large; besides uploading the pics on imageshack to resize them, do you know of another way? Thanks alot for helping a newb!

Howard

Hello Howard,

I use MS PhotoEditor to do the resize. But I’m sure there is a lot of freeware on the net to do the same. Maybe you even got adequate software with your camera.
