HI Pete well its good to have been missed lol thank you Sir but i thought id go a roamin on other ship sites regards these gun turrtes getting them workin well at the moment im torn between a very simple solution or a complex one as i bought several gears to do the job an i dont want to waste the money spent on them by goin for a simple solution an yes i know that the sayin is that the simple souloin is the best as less to go wrong but i just cant make up my mind at the moment so im gonna give it a bit or a lot more thought on this subject so more exsperimenting i go lol an hope you an yours are all well Pete
