Thank you-I like the controllers also.

Thanks-A dragline is pretty simple to run, only-3-functions, but I am having a hard time handling the controls. Guess it is about time to hang it up.

Thank you-You are absolutely right!! I have spent many hours running this model. I always wanted to get on a real dragline but this is as close as I got. The controls work nice but still need a bit of tweaking. I have said before that building is more fun than running but I guess that depends on everyones situation.

Thanks-I had to make the controls large because I could not operate a radio anymore (too small). Also I like the realism of it.
