Hm, I guess since the mechanical/pneumatic solution can hold the
current position but not get to it w/o HOG (Hand of God - Builders
hand) it's OK. But I'd write a notice next to the picture never the
less. I've also found rubberbands can help get pieces in the right
position when using pneumatics. Rig the rubberbands to work opposite
of gravity and the model might perform as if there were no gravity at
all...

Hm, I have not had any major problems with structural streangth yet,
but I build in a pretty large scale so the bulk-problems does not
occur a lot...
