But for the precise control required by a steering system, I don't think the pneumatic cylinders are adequat. They are great for (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

And the quality control needed to fine tune every switch so that they behave (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

I once tried this with the current switches, and it sorta worked, but the "dead spot" is way too big, and those switches need so much force to move! It was harder to turn the steering to operate the (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
