Yep that is correct... supplied by Liebherr Modelle (now Premacon).

Last night(it is now 6am) I had the hoe powered up for the first time.

I have tested the:
- swing motor
- L&R tracks
- pump
- main hydraulic functions.

On the todo list:
- configure the radio properly
- choose the stick setup I want - probably
- Left stick - bucket crowd + boom in/out
- Right stick - swing + boom up/down
- work out how to control the adjustable arm - I think I will utilise a switch - to flick between controlling the boom in/out and the adjustable section (If I can work out how to make the radio do it)
- plug the controls into the correct locations (this sounds easy, but I didn't get it right last night).
- set the center and end points
- setup the pump control mix
- create a new breather/find the missing breather (probably lost in customs)

Hopefully I can get some of that done today, assuming I don't have too many chores assigned to me by the missus!

Cheers,
AP
