Re: Are Firgelli linear actuators legal?

We'll start with "Does it meet the motor rules?" and go from there.

Is is powered by a legal motor? No. (Unless it is and they're not saying anything.)

Can it be modified to use a legal motor? Good question. I'd say "possible" but you'd have to do your own engineering on that.
