This is amazing, watching the videos is one thing but going through and reading each post? Icing on the cake! So cool to see the development with the needle retraction setup. Great detail and explanations Redshirt! Can't wait to eventually talk with and see you on the field with this.
Much like the CB-88, I enjoy going through your teardowns of these replicas. Now having one to own, I too understand the meaning of it being an expensive toy with its' plasticy feeling. We'll see if I follow some of the methods you've done here to reinforce yours, I've got to get better with rondo at least.
Keep up the great work! Following here for sure.
