It's easier for u see the two videos I made....
Video 1... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY8-wxcHl-I&list=UUorSKNwUodc8C7QYS1t37RA&index=2&feature=plcp

Video 2... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWPoRwK-3sc&feature=channel

If possible pay attention to the sound when I start it up on the second video.
