Cranes on the brain

Technic 42009 is a wonderful set.  Many Technic fans think it may be the best Technic set ever (opinion).  Lots of things that can be done to it.  I bought several a few years ago, and out of them produced a version of the Liebherr 1500 8.1.  Recently I took it out and played with it and was able to make it lift a heavier version of the 8070 supercar (my own modifications of it).  That is one thing I love about Technic; models can replicate the real thing and actually function at least similar to the real thing (in this case, replicating the "Y" guy arrangement allowed it to lift much more that without the "Y" guy arrangement).  Again, just like the real thing.  Perhaps not as strong, but that is not due to lack of replication of mechanics as much as it is a lack of replication of materials.  Tons and tons of fun.
