BSA-airgunner Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 got hold of a wiper motor from a local breakers for £5 and had a go at making a magnet .......it does not take that long but to be honest there isnt that much saving as the steel for the motor mount and ground spike (not made yet) battery, nuts and bolts two lenghts of glass fibre rod all adds up still here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk4s3_2D2Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenhunter Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 thanks mate how long or should it not matter for the arms....the ones shown are from my bouncers so its a bit interchangeable..so im looking for grp tent poles at the moment Longer arms will make it slower but I would go with metal ones if you do go longer as even tent poles will sag a long way. Mine are around 4ft since I modified them and they work fine. I've seen very long arms but there was a bracing bar between them. GH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
