Re: pic: Demo Transmission 222

I have always considered the 222 trans elegant compared to the brute force dog shifters common on first designs. How ever that pneumatic shifting set up is kind of a Kludge. I don't know what kind of force is needed to move the shifting shaft in and out . In 2005 the number of Hitec servos was not limited. What if you took a plastic cylinder and cut it at an angle. When the 2 halves are twisted you would get the in out motion. One servo probable isn't enough but, 2 might do it. If it works it would cut out allot of weight and eliminate the need for Pneumatics.
