Perhaps someone else has had this problem.  I've built the DSDK AT AT twice
now (very cool!) and have followed the instructions to the letter (I think)
however for some reason when I have finished it walked backwards instead of
forwards.  I was able to correct this by flipping the whole body and legs
chassis around and reattaching to the x-frame however I was wondering if there
is a mistake in the instructions or is it me???  Anybody else have this
problem?

(...) Although I don't have this set I do have a suggestion. Try building one of the alternate models with this set (I believe it comes with instructions for 3 different models). If those models also go backwards when they should go forward then (...) (24 years ago, 18-Sep-00, to lugnet.starwars)
