Hi Jim, you need a audio switch. It works from sound which turns on the motor.

It's already sound activated actually. Maybe i just need to place the mic closer to the gearbox. You wouldn't happen to have any extra feed tube spring would you? Mcmaster won't ship to me.

I have some but need it for a project. Send me the part number needed from McMaster so I can order and then have it delivered to you via hand carry to Manila.

That MG42 is looking awesome! I'm very impressed! Can't wait to see the photo sessions!

Thanks, kalbs! YGPM Thanks B20! It's done! To summarize..... *This was based on greatly modified MG42 plans from john-tom.com *Receiver, barrel shroud and top cover fabricated out of 2mm rolled sheet steel *Grip stick was fabricated out of layered laser-cut 10mm and 1mm sheet steel. It is also larger than realsteel to accommodate the motor *Stock is wood, grip panels are layered sintra board *some external details (top cover latch, barrel door handle, trunion, charging handle rail) were made out of PVC * Real steel parts: Bipod, charging handle, iron sights, drum mag *Internals: Version 3 Gearbox Stock JG gearset PDI210 spring TU Spring guide w/bearings 7mm steel bushings JG Blue Motor Stock nozzle Type0 (closed) cylinder Madbull 650mm 6.03id barrel Stock AK hop *Drum mag internals: M4 C mag, Sound and pressure switch activated * FPS: 480 with 0.2g bbs * It's HEAVY: 17.5lbs or around 7kg with bbs Some things i would have done differently.... 1) Use a Version 6 (P90/Thompson) gearbox and P90 hop chamber instead : Motor angle is closer to RS and P90 hop is top loading 2) Have the receiver powder coated before gluing/riveting the plastic parts.

Are we taking orders already? ;D Is it harder to do than an eye cataract operation? Can you build a Tiger tank....just kidding ;D..Congrats
For those interested to learn how to build one, a medical course or degree is a pre-requisite ;D ;D
