Well, it bears a slight resemblance to the 20mm gun which is shipped with the kit ... :wink:

Very cool gun and mounting Steve!

Is the elevation servo mechanism included in the kit or is that your modification? Really nice work.
Thanks for posting,
Bob

Thanks for all the kind remarks.
Robert,
The servo mount and linkages are part of the kit, you just have to supply the servo yourself.
