From the looks of your elevation set up, there must be some delay of movement from when you actually command the gun to depress or elevate. Does that happen.
No delay. The arm broke so I had to fashion a new one. It needs to be replaced.
it looks to me like it will as the elevation arm needs to move far enough before your linkage moves enough to elevate the gun. Is this so?
Its not 100% and probably could use some fine tuning. I need to play with it some more.
Which recoil unit are you using. The stay arm looks like it fits nicely into the mantlet. kind of looks like the Pershing arm.
Its a Pershing recoil unit.
