Good to know you're watching, Wayne. I'm hoping that this build might encourage the 1/16 tankers to look for other methods of powering the airsoft BBs, and also that the large scale guys will see that a lot of our 1/16 control boards can easily be used for large scale tanks, at a significant savings. I mean, think about trying to get all this stuff working separately. $110 for a smoke unit, maybe $150 for the benedini and sound system, not to mention all the stuff like lights and Machine gun. I did all that with one IBU2, and it has even more to offer. Right now I'm thinking about using the headlight circuit to turn the laser pointer on and off. The Hetzer didn't have headlights, and I decided the notek would be too much work for something you can't see in daylight anyway, so I can use the headlight circuit for something else, just as I used the barrel recoil servo to pull the trigger and the elevation servo to provide traverse for the MG34. I guess what I'm saying is that I hope this will get guys to think outside the box when it comes to these control boards. Just because it says "barrel recoil" in the instructions doesn't mean you have to use it for that, can ya dig it?

The CO2 line is supposed to be here today, but I don't usually get much done on the tanks during the week so it might get put off till the weekend. I did get the primer and first coat of dark yellow down, though. Pics tonight.
