We had intended to start the install of the flight wires and bracing rigging this day. However this was not the case. The design committee decided that it would be prudent to address the lift mechanism issue for the Lewis guns. The install of the mechanism would be hindered by the rigging wiring. As stated in the Windsock data booklet, “the lever used to actuate the lift mechanism could be found in a railroad track switch!” Here is what Gumby and I fabricated this day. We were able to utilize one of the pulleys that were made for this build. Lewis guns in the firing position.

I couldn't resist throwing everything into the hole to see what it looks like.

The pnuematic hoses are soft solder with very fine fuse wire wrapped around it, then CA'd in place. Quite convincing IMHO.

It's a good thing that I had the seat done before my ISU Cyclones lost in the first round of the NCAA: Depressing. But, like a true fan, I drink to celebrate or to forget. Seat made of Basswood with bits of solder and medical tape for the seat belts.
