Sorry I'm probably being stupid but isn't it all pressurised when the ram is fired? Or is it that it's only pressurised for a short amount of time so it's ok?

Ye there is a vent hole (exaust) in bottom of ram so it vents before it reaches high pressure, this was only for testing high pressure ones will be used on final build. we do not recommend using 10bar fittings on a system like this as they can still blow

That's one of the problems I came across, given up on the flipper for a while. Want to finish the other beetle rocky which I think will be more effective, and far simpler. Will probably finish the flipper sometime in the future, but in the mean time it would be nice to see how yours goes!
