It's everso slightly in tension when the ramp is pinned up; partially to help its rigidity, and partially to help brace against the pins. It also gives a nice 'sproingy' effect when the ramp opens.<br /><br />Of course, frequent use could dmage the 'hinge', and likewise it will probably stretch with the constant tension, but (a) I'm not going to be using it much, (b) it's simple and tidy to replace if needed and (c) I don't much care!<br /><br />WOnder if I can finish the beast tonight...?Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-27999493645936976882011-06-10T14:48:20.149+01:002011-06-10T14:48:20.149+01:00Very nice!

Question though...A tracked Higgins boat, awesome! <br /><br />Question though, how well will the electrical tape hold paint as a (thin) portion of it will flex when the ramp drops?Da Masta Cheefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05941441877537371502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-54104072247416524532011-06-10T11:24:05.063+01:002011-06-10T11:24:05.063+01:00Great effort Drax - nice and practicalGreat effort Drax - nice and practicalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-7340821369173358692011-06-10T05:36:49.334+01:002011-06-10T05:36:49.334+01:00Looking good!Looking good!The GunGravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227627485676956592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-73510640877671566332011-06-10T02:31:35.438+01:002011-06-10T02:31:35.438+01:00Pretty slick engineering there, Drax!
