BOATMANS HMS TIGER C20 scratch build for R/C

[BOATMAN]

AN Here ive not elevated the guns to fire but if you look closely the gun flash can be seen

 

[BOATMAN]

an here is the gearing shown to show how the 3 inch guns train

 

[Ron2]

HI Domer94 the R/C has 14 channels an the 10 working features off the twin cams well thats 24 workin features but remember they are not all bein used at the same time an two big 12 amp hr batts at 12V EACH so that 24 amphr worth of power in the hull power is avablie an to be honest i havnt counted them SO when i put her togeather again i will count how many FUNCKIONS THERE ARE propberly OK an remember all 4 workin radars only work off 2 servo motors so thats cut some power not needed instead of 4 motors AN REMEMBER I FITTED IN A PDB BOARD AS THAT ITS FUNCTION TO DISTRIUBETE POWER EVENLY THROUGHOUT THE SHIP AN SOON I'LL SHOW A PIC OF ALL THE THINGS WORKING

It's an airfix 1/24. This is my first foray into lights. I think I bought 3a leds. The red is self blinking and I got the - let me get back to you tonight. I'll look everything I bought so far. I think pantherman do a ship with lights and that inspired me to give it a go.

[BOATMAN]

i cant believe all the servos involved.. how many channels is your transmitter system? did you work out some other way of activating all the components?

HI Domer94 here is my R/C transmitter that works my tiger an if you look closely at it you can see the channel numbers an the two knobs no' 7an 8 that work the 10 cam swithes so 24 workin features but may be more as some are doubled up off the same switches an look at the card as im still filling them in an only got up to no' 12 but later it would go higher in numbers
