ok cool, I might just use a 1/5 scale servo? and what sort of Kg torque would you recommend?

I had good results with a Hitec 805, that's a 1/4th scale 19kg/cm servo. But that was ages ago.
Ok ill have a look, do you have any photos of your setup?
I'll have a look in my archives. But I doubt I have a picture of that. Was an experiment before I learned about the Burkert 5405.
Don't have a picture of that setup. But in a search for "stuff", I found a fire extinguisher valve.
Will make a setup based on this thread.
Total weight of such a setup, with 12 oz bottle and 40mm bore*80mm stroke ram, less than 2.5 kg.
Turned down the fire extinguisher valve bottle, made a connector to put a paintball bottle directly to the valve. Replaced the burst disk with a PRV and dump valve.
Now waiting on this servo to control the thing.
I too have got 2 extinguishers, I've added connectors on each end, tried it by hand on the compressor and it works brilliantly! Might get that servo too, seems good
Any luck with your setup maddox? or eventorizen?
With getting the ram back down, It previously said to drill a 1.5mm hole, where is best recommended to drill this?
Any finally anyone bringing this setup to the champs?
Thanks
The setup is still waiting on a PRV/Dump connection, and the mounting of the servo.
There ain't anybody interested to buy it, and I don't need it.
Also, I have enough work without building this bit of ancient history.
Ok cool, what's a PRV connection?
