Wrapped em in plastic since the paint was still a little tacky.

i think you need one of those whatchamacalit gears... the ones that freespin on backdrive
There's a worm gear in the window motor for the backdrive, but the software wasn't controlling tilt correctly when that video was shot. It'll be fine .. don't worry

Yes, the wheel is covered in lexan, although there isn't much that you can get hurt on (or break for that matter). As far as Davis is concerned, we were next on the wait list, but didn't make it - so we got into LA instead.

Yes, it's closed loop.
