Default Re: Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully

Thanks! Glad you like it so far. It's really coming along from where i started.

Carrier got front and back glass, start of a dashboard, wiper, and mirror.
I'm thinking it's going to need yellow/black scotchlite diagonal stripes on rear bumper. Maybe tail lights eventually after it's powered

I still need to decide who runs it so i can consider some lettering, i still doubt it's going to get reproduction nylint michigan badges.

Front end i can't decide if it would look better with a heavy pintle hitch, or building a box bumper with a boom support cradle.

The crane house got top glass, it probably needs a mesh cover eventually. The headlight on it is ok, but could really use some boom lights, and remote operable instead of a switch.

I don't think i mentioned using wire marker stickers so each servo plug is labeled at rx with a number/letter to make rework easier later once i forget everything.
1 c = crowd line
2 h = hoist line
4 r = cab rotate
5 b = boom elevation

The hs-645 servos have a 2.5a stall, so i should be ok with a 10a or bigger BEC.

Planning to make a set of fitted stainless steel plates for counter weight to replace the current 'big bolts' that were handy.
