(...) Dan, Gee, thanks a lot! Now I have to go change myself...I wish you wouldn't sneak up on us and dump "da bombs" like this on us!

(...) Two reasons. One, using a motor didn't occur to me. ;) Two, I don't have any rotation sensors either. I'm also unsure how I could use a motor to tilt and raise at the same time, though I don't think that's a movement needed very often. I could (...)

Hi I am new to LUGNET and just wanted to say "hello" and find out how active this newsgroup is. There are a lot of military mocs being built out there and I am curious to hear what kind of projects people are working on. That's all. Chris (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Oct-03, to lugnet.build.military)

(...) 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 (...)

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)
