R/C Naval Combat

I epoxied mine to the deck  first and then made the 1/2 circle insert. Then I epoxied everything when I was done

I cut out the holes on mine first but you can leave half the deck and epoxy the 1/2 insert right to it if you want. Either way will work.

Glad to hear you are an idiot. Cut the holes. Make life easy.

Good news to hear about your receiver.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got pics of my delta board setup. I'm in a quandry on how they attach to the solenoids themselves.

Thick black wire where three come together            This gets hooked to negative of battery (6v)

Thick red wire with three diodes attached                hook this to positive of battery (6v) and all solenoid red leads

Black from each solenoid goes to the silver leads hanging out the bottom. This is the delta board trigger lead, for the triples hook three blacks to one.

6 voltbooster goes negative to plus side of battery, negative to red wire with three diodes. (making it a 12 volt battery or use one)

I was unaware of the closeness rule but it makes sense. I  have operated mine like this for years but it still makes sense. In order to get it any closer to the solenoids, you must cut the wires at the solenoids and solder diode across the negative and positive.
