From what I've seen in the pics, the tow truck looks like it has only 1 pneumatic piston. That doesn't look very impressive.    (20 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

In order to build a new boom for a crane I am working on, I had to take apart this WWII plane MOC from 2001. It had numerous butchered parts but was still impressive to look at and worked reasonably well. I had to dust off 4-1/2 years of dust from (...)   (20 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I think what you need are two external arms, half the width of the door, top and bottom. Connect them from the door frame to a point half way along the door. This gives you four hinges. You then want to construct a mechanism that attaches to (...)   (20 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, FTX)

There's a couple of downsides to multiple parts sheaves - first, it means at least twice as much string, and that can mean either larger spools or thinner string, which is much harder for small fingers to handle; and second, it's harder to (...)
