When i had a play with pnuematics I built the none return valve into the tank using the old bicycle valve principle see:

Good stuff, I look forward to seeing it.

A quick update about anticide, 110 bolts used to hold the custom air tanks together and a ton of epoxy. I am a little concerned that they may go bang when pumped up.

The armour base and flipper arm still need cutting out but I still hope to have it done for RCFC3. Pics later in the week.
