(...) Yes, you're right - two switches would have been entirely sufficient. I just wanted another switch so I could add a release valve, that's all. :) I think originally I wanted something in there so I could bypass the tank and pump directly to (...)

(...) They work for me now also. (...) I guess I was curious why you used pneumatics. I would think a motor/gear/rotation sensor would give you very fine angular resolution and variable speed. You also would only need to control either the front or (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

The gear are easily removable, I used technic friction pegs into technic plates with holes. The landing gear doors and rear gear also come off easily. I will be making a stand to display the model in flight. One thing I found out when I was trying (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yeah, it does somewhat. One thing that helps is not to pressurize the tank all the way. If there isn't much pressure it doesn't "jump" as much and helps keep increments small. Another thing that's helpful is not to flip the switch all the way (...) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.build, lugnet.technic)

(...) They work like a charm to me!? Cool use of pneumatics Mike, how is control? Pneumatics tend to "jump" from one position to another that would give a pretty non-smooth camera pan?

(...) Oh wow, this is really cool. I rarely comment on mecha MOCs, but this is sure classy looking. Looks like the kind of toys I didn't have growing up, but all the neighbors did (I stuck to LEGO) :-) -Tim (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I like the clean look of the legs. The missile launchers rock, and dig that butt cannon. Nobody can sneak up on you. I think the sides of the cockpit can use just a little something, but it's really a minor thing. Sweet. -Grand Admiral (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hi all, I'm glad I was able to complete this project in time for the upcoming DixieLUG meeting.
