Really nice looking alternative.

Do you have any video showing the functions ?

I like the look of the front outriggers. Congratulations for providing such a nice alternative given the small number of available parts.

Great model! I was going to make a telehandler from this set too, now I do not have to :)

As I can see, they are:

• Front outriggers (independent control for each one)
• Rear wheels steering via HOG (exhaust pipe or warning beacon)
• Boom raising and extending that works at once (like the boom and winch in the B-Model)
• Fork tilt control (lockable at the end position)

May be some more of them...

The first telehandler ever to feature one too! Fitting, since it came out of the first forklift with an engine.

Nice design. Good job !

There's no worm gear used?

A good C model and just at the right time as I picked up 42079 today at a good price. I bought it as a parts pack but I might challenge myself to recreate your telehandler first

A good model C. Bulding with my son. Do you have any photo from below?

Hi all, sorry this is not an Osprey post, but I have instructions here for this model if you are interested.
