Awesome job KP. That's a great idea to use the spin on filter.

Thanks guys!!!!

Now that I have a better idea of where things are going to be located I could finally mount the valve body in place and then fab the hard line from the pump, ended up switching sides with the pump and motor, works better with the pump on the same side as the tank.....go figure...lol

Now that the valve is mounted I could finish the work on getting the controls connected to the servos, the 6-32 threaded rod seems to be rigid enough to move the valve controls....time will tell. Hopefully this set up will work, how well it works remains to be seen, having the servos mounted more directly to the spools would be better...less chance of free play from servo to spools. This whole hydraulic system is not typical for an RC but hey I'm going to try it out and see what happens...LOL
