If you go to the John-Tom web site, they have the plans for a model crawler crane, pretty much what I want to do.
I ordered the plans; they came E-mail from Asia, in English, but in metric (I can work around that.).
I sent them off to an engineering firm I know, and they happily printed them full size for me, at a very fair price.
They advertise a booklet to go with it, but he has no more. I am wondering if anyone out there happened to
get these plans with the book. I would gladly re-imburse someone for a photocopy of the book. (Or E-mail).
I've downloaded a number of the construction pic's from the ad, and they are very helpful.
I found a piece of 1/4 in. aluminum (in place of 5mm) for the cab base and I plan on using 22 or 24 ga.
sheet metal for the cab and such (in place of 1mm) plus a number of other similar substitutions.
It has only two functions, boom up and down: and load up and down. However, I think with some planning
and experimenting, I can add swing to it.
But the book would be a great help, if one is available.
Best reach me at jjklas@montana.net or through this website.

Thank you.
Jon
