Kidding aside, she is looking good already. How do those motors look like they are going to work, I don't think I have seen anyone used them before. Did them come with any specs?
We started today working on Don Cole's new Alabama today, at our local build session, after we finished making 40+ cannons. We just got his rudder servo mount made up, and rudder placement worked out to use my differential rudder steering, she should turn on a dime with it. | | | Its better to give than to receive.

that is a link to the motor stats its all Greek to me I called the guy at Harbor Models and told him what we do the pitch and size of my props and the dimensions of my ship and this is what he gave me we shall see if it works as soon as NAMCO Bay melts it is 42 inches of ice and 8 inches of Snow with 6 to 10 more falling as we speak so I will let you know in the late spring we don't want a repeat of the Titanic LOL
yes I am a bit lost with all the space I work with a pair of those big stuffed Hulk hands just to make up the difference [:p] | | IRCWCC Fast Guns New England Task Force, http://netfrc.com USS Massachusetts BB 59 South Dakota Class Battleship Awards

| | 14 Feb 2009 07:55 PM | | Awesome job, nice Fred! Hook a brother up with some turrets! I was afraid you forgot to keep working on it, I haven't heard from you in a bit. Are the turrets light and do they float? And seriously,can you pull three for me? Let me know what it will cost. I have to get into molding.... So much to do.... | | Rob A.
