Neil,
Your comments are very kind. Actually, I might publish some of your comments about experience of building, difficulties of the terrain, and what those beasts are faced with in the middle of two gruesome days of combat. I don't think many people realize the engineering difficulties involved. I have some cool new stuffs I'm working on right now: 1. I switched my idea of a coaxial Airsoft engine to a green high power laser pointer. It is being fitted in my Prototype II Tiger right now, with ability to calibrate it at 50 ft with the marker (4 small screws on the tail end of the pointer). We can see that green point until that distance in daylight 2. I acquired many 1/6 scale static plastic Shermans. I always wanted an "enemy" to the German line of tanks I carry. So I'm feverishly working on beefing up that hull for a full fledge "Combat Sherman" - it will be only 90-100 lbs according to my calculations. I'm not sure it will work yet, but the suspension is already thought thru, and the tracks might be the only "weak link". Testing will tell. If it doesn't work, it will be an RC tank, that's all. 3. The prototype II tiger will have a "open hood" feature like the Tiger you used at Gettysburg. Did you like that option of opening the hull like that?

It was a pleasure meeting and battling you Loic. I was very impressed with your ( and Steve's ) tiger, I have made a few of these little monsters now and I can only wonder if any of my tanks could meet the challenges to compete in the MAG events. its tough out there, and you put T087 through rougher treatment than Id put any tank that I have ever built, and yours still worked. Knowing what i know about the troubles of building a 1/6th competitive tank, Id advise to anyone looking to get into the hobby, unless you have good engineering skills, masses of time and access to a well stocked tool shop, Buy a FOA tank, I just wouldn't like to think what the shipping would be the Europe. keep up this very good and inspirational work.

I will have to say about this weekend at Gettysburg that the company was delightful. I never thought that a Frenchman could enjoy British humour, but it came very easy with Neil and Claire! Even after he "killed" the Frenchman a couple of times As a Newbie on the field of combat, I first want to thank Tyng Tech design for not only the brilliant mind willing to share its mountain of new ideas, but for sharing its priced "Cromwell" which never required such extensive gooey cleaning than after the Frenchman used it for a game! Thanks to all for a Great Weekend and so much fun! I think I'm hooked. I have already applied many of you advises into our next generation of tanks. I also have updated the T087 http://www.rctankcombat.com/tanks/T087/ with photos and comments Merci Beaucoup! Loic -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
