Very nice. And how about the shell? Part 2? Did you do it? I am a beginner and curious!!

@potzdonner Yes, I did. See video SWfuL54633E

Out of interest, has the change in size effect it's pulling power?

[jdk1928]

@exveefan Have not tried pulling anything with it yet, so no clue.

@jdk1928, Just another quick question, what is the new length of the unit?

I've looked but sadly it's not mentioned anywhere.

[jdk1928]

@exveefan Mechanism length is 28.4mm, excluding the pilot mounts; overall length is 33.8mm.
