Zac, the handwheel is excellent. The momentum from one medium strength spin will move the face about 15-20mm. That may not seems like much, but I reckon that takes in the vast majority of face movement required. To move it out full distance or thereabouts I will just put a short timber stick into the corner of the spoke and gi' it a whirl. You can use your finger but it's a bit rough

For the spin I think 1.5 kg or so would be about right (180mm dia), but Terry wasn't comfortable with it staying within the failsafe limit (i.e. it might break the failsafe too easily).
