Very cool. Looks like automatic gate parts?

So a couple of questions:

1. How far away will it work?
2. Will it go up and down?
3. Are you willing to share design?

I see Dogra Electonics and a gate piston with the stickman on a pivot point. Looks like it goes up and down and works as far as dogtra electronics work???

Using the homemade 12v remote electronics available on the web and an electric car antenna, a retired gun that goes up and down is relatively easy to construct. I have never used gate actuators but they will probably work as well.

Below is a link to where I got the electronics for my retired gunner (2000 m range), and I requested that it work for 5 amp device to work car antenna and it wasn't any extra $$$.

Use a 12v gel cell battery, similar to a robo duck battery just 12v rather than 6 v so you don't have to haul a car battery around to work it. Below is a link to where I got mine:

I used a piece of pvc to support the antenna (similar to Malcolm).

Good Luck!

Been able to train with Greg quite a bit recently. These are really nice units.

The Gunners Up stick man can still be used as a conventional stick man (stuck in the ground) when not attached to the retire/un retire unit.
