I have toyed with idea of using rod end bearings but I don't know if it will give me the range of movement that I need with out binding. I also thought of using 90 ball joints I just dont know. I have the base built and the blue bar moves freely with the u-joint on top. I plan on using 3 car winches to move my control arms. Depending on how long my lever is and where I attach the winch cable will determine the speed of the control arms movement and the amount of force it will take to move it. Over all what do you thank
Thanks in advance for all the in put

Hi Terry.
Trying to build a platform, but cant see how to interface with the system when it is built. Can you let me know how to contact Ian who seems to have a few good idea's - particularly with the motion controller.
Many thanks.
