Your link is to a match not a design. What does that design mean, and how does it make H drive easier to accomplish?

I don't get your gist. OBTW, the AM14U2/3 is also a kit. Possibly not germane, but our off-season pneumatic strafe had a number of variables really screwed up because we were using what we had vice what was best for the application, but it worked first try. Barring further findings, I cannot and will not recommend anything other than some definite control over the applied force of the strafe wheel to the carpet, whether spring or pneumatics or synthetic muscle or cosmic pressure.
