Here's a thought.. if you can scale weight, a 1:50 ac500 model should be able to lift 10 tonnes as its 1:1 version is rated at 500 tonnes! Teeth I must go pull out my mammoet LTM11200 model now and see if she'll lift 24 tonnes @ 2.5m/50 radius!! Think Teeth

some spare time and my calculator again,some maths jiggery pokery

the scale the ltm11200 needs to be to have a max lift capacity at 2.5m of 24tonnes is 1/3.684 (I know you can't express fractions and decimals together) the cube route of 50 is 3.684031....

for the 1/50 capacity of the 11200

1200 tonnes into grams 1200,000,000

and 1/50 into 1/50 volume 1/50 x 1/50 x1/50 = 125,000

divide 1200,000,000 by 125,000 = 9600g..... 9.6kg

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I was going to contribute here, but I started drinking heavily after only the 2nd page and pretty much passed out at the top of the 3rd (page.) Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...
