Then the crash would appear real with breaking and crumpling and everything. :)
------- Or build one from lightweight but strong materials like schedule 80 PVC and strings of plastic mardi gras beads for crystals. Design a folding structure so it can collapse on stage yet falls back into place when lifted. If it doesn't need to be lit, so much easier. If it does need to appear to be lit, use strategically placed pieces of aluminum flue tape and hit it with a spot. If it can be built light enough it might be feasible to simply drop it, using a rug with carpet pad to protect the stage. A manually applied brake should satisfy safety requirements. A large diameter wheel on the winch with caliper brakes at the rim would reduce the braking force required. Could use a brake caliper and master cylinder with foot pedal from a car. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
