Re: 1/12th RC Crawler Crane Dragline Plans
 

Well done Tom :cool: I bet it's loads of fun to operate :cool:

Re: 1/12th RC Crawler Crane Dragline Plans
 

Thanks Brel and Lil Giants,
Designing and building this model was a long learning journey, but worth it all. And yes, operating it is a real pleasure albeit a bit tricky with the Dragline as I have both the drag and lift line controls on the right stick.
Have a GREAT DAY!

There are times when having a 3rd arm like Riza in MIB International would sure come in handy.

Like running an RC dragline, or when needing to hold 2 parts while applying glue to the joint, or....

Re: 1/12th RC Crawler Crane Dragline Plans
 

Yep ddmckee54, a 3rd arm would be an interesting option, but I've learned to make due with 2 for 75 years!
Have a GREAT DAY!
