I finished building the Backhoe tonight. I had a 20 page paper to hand in
(Derek didn't help at all!) and broke up building it over three or four nights.
So many great sets this year: Shuttle, Helicopter, Yellow Truck and now this
one, the Backhoe.
What an amazing model! I never liked pneumatics much before, but I can see why
this one is so much fun. The previous sets I had were only one cylinder (8250
Search Sub, 8040 Pneumatic Universal Set) so having ten cylinders and seven
functions is really cool.
I also had a new found appreciation for the new rounded beam and unusual
clasp/hoop/whatever pieces.
Does anyone else find their steering to be stiff? Like there's a snap when you
turn the steering?
