(...) I started to add the trusses needed to add hip sweep (I'm told Eric likes that phrase), and connecting legs together, but they are *very* far apart. Can;t even do cross bracing with 1x15 liftarms. I'm working on another prototype that has the (...) (20 years ago, 7-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

I ended up with this 'red container' with a flip top from a collector we bought out, but have been unable to identify it's kit number or where it would have originally come from. Inside the red flip top case is a series of instructions for various (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) So what happens if one set of legs manages to lock, but doesn't want to unlock, while the other set of legs never locks at all? It's possible that the front/back leg pairs will behave differently if the back legs are longer like on a real (...) (20 years ago, 6-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
