There is one very important point that no one has considered.  The FCC
has set up laws prohibiting use of air frequencies on land vehicles.
This is to protect RC pilots from interference from other people on
the same frequency.  Someone could be seriously hurt by a crashing
plane due to interference (It has happened).  You mentioned it was an
airplane radio.  It is most likely on an air frequency. I recommend
that you send it in to the manufacturer to convert to a ground
frequency.

Hi!

[WARNING: Not for the weak hearted LEGO purist ;) ]

I'm planning to build a remote controlled LEGO lumber truck.

What I'm planning to do is to controll all the functions via a remote
controll (eg. Sanwa 5 channel RC equipment). By all the functions I
mean:

Move truck forward/revers
Turn truck left/right
Rise/lower support legs next to the crane
Turn crane left/right
Rise/lower crane
Bend crane
Rotate claw
Open/close claw

The servos is only allowed to move switches and a steering knob. Just
like if some person would be using the truck.

Since I plan that much functions I have to make two thingies move with
one servo, e.g. Pneumatic switch and gearbox on one servo.

Does ay body has any experience with this? Is there any pictures on
the net that I might find interesting? Any ideas, pointers and such?

I might use an RCX to smooth things up a bit, I'm about to build a
test module to see if I can make all these thingies move OK before I
start building the truck it self.

Thanks!

Play well!
