the boom line, is it just one piece from the lower boom to the servo then back to the top of the boom?

It works ok but, it still needs some tweaking.
No, there are two drums (servo driven) one for the top line (called a hoist line) and one for the bottom line (called a crowd line) to the bucket.

Did buy servos 2 weeks ago, thought they where cheap, Hitec HS-225MG at $32 each (at least cheap here in Sweden). Got to try to make a small servo powered model some day!
Saw that your servo source had servos with continuos rotation at 14 bucks, anyone tested those?

Thanks Dan. The servos that are in this crane are HD-9150MG's that were about $40 a piece but, the ones I am using for the final version of the cable hoe have the same specs.
