Re: Classy Shak
This thing is just INSANE! Huge and very detailed, with some awesome touches. Great work, I can't wait to see this finished. Sorry if you have already mentioned this, I couldn't see, but do you have a paint/color scheme in mind? I suppose it will need to be something pretty epic in order to finish off an epic build.

Re: Classy Shak
Wow Mike that is one serious stage coach......that is one serious project, especially since I've been following it since the drawn up plans of the build. It's nice to see her progress this far. You are a true craftsman, not to mention with the patience of a saint, guess that's why your truck looks as good as it does and mine....well let's just say patience isn't my strong suit. Great build man.

 I got my Bending Machine from Micro Mark this week so I got my tank straps made with the Stainless Strips from Brian.

Re: Classy Shak
Ok brain picking time...
Anyone familiar with RC air craft? I need a cable to operate my fifth wheel release. I was thinking that maybe RC air planes use them. Here is what I am looking for only I need it much smaller and shorter.  If I can't find one of these small enough then I could use some braided cable in a piece of stainless tubing if I can find it small enough. I think .018" cable would be perfect.

Re: Classy Shak
Mike, that is a good idea, and I was thinking the same thing. But i'm like you...no luck finding aircraft cable short enough. So I was thinking of going to a local music store and looking at guitar strings. Cutting to length, bending the ends like I need them. If this works, i'll let you know.

Re: Classy Shak
Dreamweaver, I used to build RC planes, many years ago. Things may have changed, but I used to get delron or PVC flexi tubes in RC plane shops. This was able to take a decent curve. I would run from cockpit to tail, down inside the fuselage. I would then get a thin flexi rod to feed through the tube and then you would have screw on "horns" hand screwed onto the ends of the rods and they would snap to the servo horn on one end and the control surface (rudder, aileron or elevator etc). I am sure that this would work for you and there are choices of design and finish on the horns available.
You can also make "hard" push rods. See video below, he uses the plastic horns I mentioned, you can also get alloy ones. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3raUcsSjvhs
