Default RE: HL 360 Turret Ring

It worked perfectly! Sort of. I hooked all the wires up wrong and it wasn't until after I tore it down and reverted back to a standard setup did I finally understand that 2 of the wires were grounds and 1 positive, and that the grounds were turned on and off by the board to activate the gun and elevation unit. So the unit is complete and works quite well. I was going to install it in my 211 Tiger but the electronics took up too much internal space and I didn't have the room to have the slightly deeper ring hanging down. It will go back into another tank, just no plans at this time. Well, I'm not doing anything with my tanks at the moment or in the near future anyway.

I just used standard Great Planes medium grade CA for everything. The thin stuff runs all over the place and makes a mess. The pics aren't very good but should give you an idea how I did it, the springs were cut way down, eventually a piece of styrene was glued under all the arms and only 2 springs used to provide tension, one spring per line was too much tension.
