Thanks pal. We have found the home made balance very useful for these giants. We just keep pouring Steel Powder in the bag until it balances. We put some epoxy in it as well. About 4 lbs to balance her. Not bad. May need a little more after she is painted.

We tested the gear and it held air for a couple hours till we broke her down, and cycled perfectly. If only it will stay that way. One of the worst things about these giant war birds is maintaining the gear.

We are using this sequencer. Very easy to program and fully capable of all necessary options and adjustments. I also like the fact that it has an arming button that until pushed, will not let the gear do anything when you power it up. A red light, mounted next to the button lets you know it is armed and ready to operate.
