There are a few ways to elevate the gun, you can just use a servo conected 
straight to the gun, you could use a little gear motor and a winch, or you 
could mount the servo under the gun and use an extended servo horn to "push" 
the gun up and down. I think Joe did this on "T010". The gun can also be 
fired a number of different ways. the simplest way I think is to conect the 
servo directly to the trigger of the gun.I know Frank has used a door lock 
actuator from the central locking system from a car to fire his gun. But I 
don't know the performance of this method. Several people have also 
installed electronic triggers and from what I understand they give you an 
extremerly fast rate of fire. I don't think you could combine the elevation 
and the fire in one channel because every time you want to fire your gun the 
elevation would be changed.
