Re: 1:50 Dragline
MM,
I'm searching for "tight line" on the web but haven't found a real good description yet. Give me your explanation.
I assume it means the the hoist and drag ropes are never let free to go out or down without brake applied or in gear operation.
I would love to be able to cast the bucket when I dredge but without a complicated clutch system that won't happen. It would be pretty thought to cram that in there, unless someone makes a servo with a clutch built into it.
Thanks for the comment, add to the fun, learning more about stuff like that.
It's fun for me mostly, because my gramps ran a dragline, but I don't remember him too well, he died when I was very young. I can't remember for sure but I think he actually electrocuted himself on the dragline.
