An airport builder, man after my own heart. What I've done for my airport 4.2, is put two radar dishes on the top roof of my tower, I built the roof SNOT style, with two Technic hole bricks, attached the radars to axles, put a gear at the bottom, ran a conveyer chain around and mounted a micro motor with a third gear so it would all rotate. If I can, I'll post a link to a picture tommorrow. The radars I used where the standard 6 x 6 web, and the other is the black dozer blade with radar print from one of the airport sets.
