radio control fitting in the tug WATTLE

[michael wilkinsParticipant @michaelwilkins74576]

I am building the tug Wattle using the build article in model boats magazine, but I have come upon a problem as this is my first scratch build I am lost with the radio installing and am hoping someone out there can help me maybe with a wiring diagram as I have to install a smoke unit a sound module lighting etc.

so help please as I need to do a test set up soon

Hi Michael If you look at this **LINK** there are a number of circuits. Although they refer to Action units specifically, the basics are the same for most R/C components.

Some Smoke and sound units are linked to the motor control, although some modelers prefer to have separate control.it is a matter of taste

Michael,

Also have a look at Dave Milbourn's very helpful article on Model Boat Electrics/Electronics here: **LINK** which should answer many of your questions.

If you are not clear about anything then just ask and someone will help.

Hi Michael..

I have not long started the Wattle build in a similar manner to your self.

Do you have any pictures of your build and if you have got the answer to the electronic set up,

would be interested to see how it fits.

Regards,

Ian
