I tried the search feature, but couldn't find any posts on a leaping loafer. I'd like to build one for this year's haunt using a purchased air cylinder. All of my animated props to this point use homemade pvc cylinders.
Here's a pictorial from Lawrence Lund's website
My Leaping Loafer Pictures Page
This one looks pretty cool with the arms raising simultaneous to the standing action
Anyone have experience making one of these? I'm looking for
(1) the recommended bore size and throw length for the cylinder that pushes the loafer out of the chair
(2) clarification on how the arm action is achieved
