Good Afternoon All.
I was just curious if anyone could tell me if there is any record for the
tallest lego crane model? I have just completed the first set up of my own
version of a Liebherr LR-11200 Crawler Crane that is 18 feet tall (almost 6
meters). There are some pictures posted at the following link.

Check out the Stage 3 pictures for the full setup. I am currently waiting on an
additional order of parts to add another section to the jib, bringing the total
height to 20 feet. I think that this will be as tall as I can go.
If anyone has any insight on this matter, please feel let me know.
Thanks--Alvin

I think 20 feet should be possible, it's better to add the extra length to the luffing jib, because that reduces the weight you need to raise (1/2 the extra (...)
