RC Crawler Crane Buikd
I have been inactive for a while, but I recently completed designing, documenting and constructing a 1/12th scale rc lattice boom crawler mounted crane, based on the 1960s vintage P&H model 1015. See my you tube channel intro playlist at https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...EjLJ1cWKQt5IF4 and let me know what you think. Thanks, Tom Garing

Very nice build, and it was nice to see and hear you explain in your own words.

Re: RC Crawler Crane Buikd
Very nice. Do you have any photos documenting your build? Would love to see.
I'm sure you had quite an adventure building that lattice boom. |

9W Monighan,
Thank you for your comments, Yes I am a retired manufacturing manager who spent my initial career as a graduated Mechanical Engineer, as a machine design draftsman, so yes, I have pdf copies of both full (D) size boom section drawings and supporting word docs with photos and write-ups of each part of the build, including each boom section. Thanks for recognizing how tedious the build was. I spent a lot of time, for example, building fixtures, for example to hold the 4 corner boom rods aligned and registered on my milling machine, to make the numerous counter bores for each of the many perpendicular boom lattice components, and yes, I have over 1,900 photos of the build that I hope to share going forward, in future you tube posts, so subscribe to my channel and stay tuned! Thanks again for your interest in my model, Tom |

WOWZERS! That's a complicated build right there. Great job on this project!

Skeeter,
Thanks for your comments. Yes it was a very involved project, but I really enjoyed the designing and machining challenges that this build required. |
