Default DBC3/TBS Mini Recoil Setup

I am just installing a DBC3/TBS Mini in my modified King Tiger. I was using a PICO switch on a DBC2 running from the Recoil output on the DBC2 to a modified HL recoil system and microswitch. It worked very well.
However, the DBC3 uses the Recoil output for the TBS Mini.

Any suggestions on how to setup the recoil system and still use the PICO switch and HL Recoil motor?

While I'm at it: I want to change the elevation from the HL elevation motor to a servo powered system. Has anyone used the additional servo lead from the DBC2/3 for this purpose?

Thanks for you help!

Default RE: DBC3/TBS Mini Recoil Setup

I just sent you an email with a diagram for wiring up the recoil.

Elevation servo will be tricky. You have to run it from a stick that does not self center, and you would have to work around the DBC3 firing from the full up on the normal elevation stick. I live with the rotating cam as most time elvation in an IR battle is not that precise anyway.

I am testing other methods on my bench right now. The Benedini does have some servo control but the elevation is too darn slow using the benedini to control it.

Cheers
