Simple solutions can be very hard to come up with. Stupid enough I was thinking it would jump forward and back. Embarrassed

If I understand it correctly, it is in fact a huge circular hand moving underneath the dial.


That's one way to describe it.

The mechanism in the Airway (aka Airflight) does require it to flip back and forth, and is a much more complex affair, requiring a seperate module on the pillar plate. Maybe that will be my next ID thread...
