[boatman]

Did ya get the crane workin' yet?

HI Rick no to get that crane workin it would take 3 servos one to to swivel the crane from left to right an another servo to pull the jib up an down an another to work the winch to pull hook up an down an not enough room for all that to fit in so im afraid my freind all that work doesnt justify the means LOL AN FROM 10FT AWAY you wont hardly notice it an i know you ya devil is windin me up lol
ATB my freind
