Now back to that radar motor getting this going an whoever designed the main mast well its sitting
half on the hanger an half off so that makes it awkward to get the main radar shaft up in the front wall

an the radar shaft built an fitted with a square brass box section as the top mast will be able to lift off so a smaller bit of box section will be fitted to it an then able to drop in the motor shaft to turn said radars

Now back to that other H-DOOR an I've had to fit in a cross member to take the second push-rod to hold it tight so that when the door is open it wont be seen
an the wire ties will be cut off when I get the other servo fitted

I posted some instructions earlier in your build how to get pics showing on the forum from your hosting account. It's just a tad different from what I thought was "normal" but once the first is done as I showed, just a copy and paste job. If you can upload to imbb or whatever then it's no stress on mayhem account or your computer, actually it's better you have your own account as you have more control and it takes the heat off here as a forum rather then a pic hosting site which usually incurs more costs. You can of course just post an "attachment" each post rather than a weblink?

Great build so far by the way.
