    Hello Jim, could you clearify: what about wind-up motors? Are these 'allowed' in this contest? Thanks

    I disagree: I rate the air tank useful at models where you would trigger more than one pneumatic at the same time. Scooping with the 8459 / 8464 / 8439 front loader is probably the best example. Other would be pneumatic excavators. I have upgraded the Volvo with a single cylinder compressor plus tank. This performs better that the comporesor-only setup of the 42080 Harvester. I agree that two airtanks on the 8462 Tow Truck is too much. One would have been sufficient because the pneumatic functions on that model don't require that much air. Plus they are mostly 'sequential' e.g. without need to operate them at the same time. However, the double tank makes this set a nice parts pack.

    It's only 9M wide. (From Pythagoras) the long side would measure < 10M. How would that match?

    No. My guess would be that the sharp edge of the brown axles do not slide very well. I found that using a bushing on the lower end has better slide. Thus my solution is using 3.2L axles with the benefit of more cylinder-like look:

    I believe that I found a simple solution that appears to be stable enough to allow to play with the model: It'll also work with the offroad tyres (56x26):

    I did a quick check with two of my parts Test setup: Attach each part on the end of a 5L axle (taken from my parts, so special selection) hold each piece with a hand and pull in the direction of the axle: Which part will come off from the axle? I switched over sides of the axle and, because first result appeared to be biased, also changed between left and right hand. Results were unconclusive.

    Is there an explanation why panels and do not properly align? When building the Bugatti I found: e.g. the angled panels stick out by 0.5(?) mm. The same holds for the 2x1x1 panel.

    This is a minor one: I was disppointed with the propellers not giving any noticeable airflow. This piece would allow to adjust the blade pitch as necessary.

    Has someone already mentioned that the curvature of the new panel 2438, 2442 (from 42152, 42154) does not match the curvature of this part: ? There is a small deviation:

    Instead of the 2L black friction pin on the spring would it be possible to insert a 3L axle pin later on?

    Starting from your sttering configuration I had to agree to your finding that the tyres are scrubbing at maximum steering lock. I believe that I found a simple solution that appears to be stable enough to allow to play with the model: Top view: Bottom view: Detail: The setup is symmetrical resp. identical for both axles. Tyres will still scrub on falt surface but the amount has decreased sufficiently (for me).

    Now that I know where to look I can confirm that the provided photos show the mentioned phase shift with respect to my build.

    Hello, I had the same impression and wrote about is some time ago. There were a few remarks on that.

    The angles between the 4L lever beam, 3L link, and 2L beam at the fork are changing when moving up and down. And the distance of the lever beam to the fork mast changes. I think there's no way the axle hole of the 3x2x1 panel could be used for articulation. Just when I was going to verify the pickup it didn't work a couple of times. I believe it somehow relies on the slack between the fork and the mast. Just by turning the worm screw the other direction (a bit) helps to put the fork to the lowest position.

    The worm driven lever is connected to the fork by a 3L beam. Therefore it's lower point is defined by the down-position of the fork + the 2L half-beams hitting the chassis.

    I've taken an image but no inventory:

    On most technic boxes the production code is printed black letters on (only) one of the sealing tapes. It is (very) difficult to find and read. Older ones have them punched into the box material. My box has 34M1, one of the actuators 20X1 What kind of 'actuators are we talking about?

    I just finished the model. You are right: the collective lever will return to the lowest position from the weight. But I don't mind since the control appears to be adequate.

    I've got a question / remark on the friction dampening used on the cyclic lever(s): In step 142 a 3L red friction pin is inserted into two beam. In step 143 a 8-tooth gear is addes that connects to the axle of the cyclic control. I found this very stiff, alost not turning at all. Instead the beams were twisting. I therefore replace the 3L red pin by a 3L black one. How do you rate the friction on your model / build?

    The blue pump has a travel of 2L (studs). The yellow (old) one (5L long) can only do 1L. You would have to use a 1/2L crankshaft as in 8868 to drive it. But it will give you only half as much air per revolution.

    I have checked mine which has been in parking position for about 6 months: The 5x7 frames that connect to the tracks are sagging. It's about 1 mm between the grey frame and the black 16L beam. This only occurs at the front. Perhaps because a second support cannot be installed because of the battery box Control+ hub.

    Hi, could you rephrase that question: What is the (physical) measure of "strong"?

    Would this: Any model with wheels > build in yellow parts, add some black accents = construction vehicle be a valid assumption?
