Stability is excellent considering how far the arm is out, it can turn very quickly even when the arm is fully extended. We can basically rotate around our center because of the way we have organized our wheels.
Right now our weight is 111 pounds, all we need to add is armor so we are pretty happy:)

How long does it take you to extend the arm with the 24" cylinder? Doesn't it take awhile to recharge to go up again? Looks sturdy though.

The arm extension is very fast, we used a two tank pneumatic system so we get two extenions and retractions out of the tanks when they are full, since the compressor is always on we have had no problems with low air pressure when we have to deploy the arm.
