That doesn't sound like much fun steve. I think I would have a problem with strong springs but I still think this is a good idea. Jim told me he got a radio but I agree, he is totally lost. I ask him if he has hooked it up on the workbench to see how it worked and he said he didn't know how. I think he is still living in the 60's and doesn't realize how everything has progressed. I like him though-he is a great guy and I wish I knew half of what he knows about electrical systems. I told him I wasn't sure the R/C was a good idea. As big as his machines are a radio glitch in mid-swing could cause serious damage to his machine. I must admit though, today's radios are much more advanced than the ones I started out with in the 70's. I hope it works out good for him.
