33V @ 120A = 100 kilometres an hour + small wave = high speed Submarine = water and electricity donât mix = LUCAS smoke gets let out in a BIG way!
At least being 10 metres underwater at the time, it didnât burn a big hole through the Hull!
This is old damage, but just getting around to planning whatâs required for the rebuild seeing as Iâm getting back into the TYLOSAURUS custom build and having a little break from the Aircraft.
(Until the next ones arrive.)
The FW190 is to partner with the British adversaries in the collection, just as the ZERO partners with the F4U CORSAIR.
Unfortunately the BF109 Messerschmittâs are now extinct in the 1100mm size.
BTW @BME ⌠had to dig out the Speedboats to get through to a pile of boxes looking for those MP5 folding stocks!
Must be In the storage unit as not in the odd few boxes in the spare room.
Got quite a few flights in but had to retire the HUSKY early in the afternoon.
Was wondering why it was handling like a Jellyfish halfway through the 2nd flight and having trouble with coordinating turns and getting it wings level for landings.
Wasnât until the 3rd flight I threw in a fresh battery and did the usual control surface checks before takeoff that I discovered that the Right Aileron Sevo had given up the ghost.
Back at home and now obviously have some tinkering ahead to test or start replacing all of the Servos with my new metal geared waterproof units.
Had to dismantle all of my beautiful tidy wiring to access the leads required to run the Servo Tester, and somehow the bastard started working again!
In my opinion, not politically incorrect at all, Doc.
As you said, itâs historically correct if you repaint Biggles to look more Japanese, and Rising Sun hachimaki are an undeniable part of that era in history.
Plug/wiring kit to enable making tidy custom length Servo leads to delete the loop piles and mess with leads that are simply too long for their purpose.
I did my best cable management with the extra lead lengths so far, but being able to cut them to length to plug directly into their relative positions will be the proper way to finish off the wiring.
(still gotta clean up all that aluminium swarf!)
Unfortunately the side effects of adding Floats and Steel Frames to what are essentially ground Aircraft wreaks havoc with weight CG and trimming flight characteristics, so having these Gyros are pretty much essential to achieve safe and stable flight whilst trialling out different mechanical trim settings.
