when my fleetscale bismarck hull arrives i will keep you posted with pictures of my build if you like,how long do they take to arrive after ordering?does anyone know i ordered mine about the 15/8/08 and havent heard anything yet.very keen to attack it keep watching for postman but no joy yet.

hi that is a long build did you get it all or havent you unpacked it yet ? lol   

hello a technical question for anyone as you know i will be building the fleetscale bismarck,i intend using 3 electronize motors 543-23 port and starboard motors will be 6volt revs@8300rpm with 40mm 3 blade (p) pitch prop wired in series from a 12volt sla battery,center motor is same type using 12volts and 30mm prop(P)type [email protected] this steer o.k. or should i put middle motor on seperate control,or is there some kind of switching device to aid turning??

and here they are filed ready to fit

and just like magic here they are fitted, made slightly longer on purpose to help steering .having to save up for some good 1/128 plans to help with the rest.

yes this was the link im not rushing i just want it done before winter NO PRESSURE.!!!!!!!!!!!

morning

you have done more work in the last week than i have in the last 9 months can you send photo 3 from a different angle

gary

hi pete

don’t get carried away with the foam in the summer it gets warm expands and blows your deck off

gary

few more pics showing sub division ready for filling and trimming and lead sheet in bottom to equalise ballance.if you checked previous link you know it will soon be getting wet,video will be posted later. bye for now

hi mate will this do no complicated linkages minute adjustment can be made on shaft clamp the simpler it is the less can go wrong.

this day is approaching

hi gary,the little blue box near the servo is the r/c receiver probably not in its final position.to Fleetscale the beam has remained the same,I fully intend to glue wooden strip and brace the inside as i continue just need to test running gear in water before i return to dry dock.ps where is this link to the picture you mentioned?

sorry gary i meant fleetscale picture of bismarck build .take a look took it on water,for first time used my 1/200 bismarck as a tug towed the hull out then used the fleetscale hull to tow bismarck back.decided all was well and let it loose no problems encountered,heres a few snaps i will post a link to you tube later you can see for yourself.i used the electronize motors 35mm props and 6volt sla battery very pleased with results makes my 4 foot bissy look small bit excessive for a tug dont you think,lots more lead ballast reqd,20+kilo me thinks.
