probably not...it would just get shot off.

 

I am now feeling a strong urge to stencil names onto my ships before the start of the season just to see how long it takes until they're illegible.

xmas off and trying to start work again.
below layout shows three SLA batteries and two 9oz co2 bottles. with this configuration both the forward and aft guns will have the most room under them and the weight is in the center of the ship. going to have to modify or remove the water channeing to place SLA and c02 bottles. It is still real tight to get everything in, even with this layout. did try a 20oz bottle, but front guns would have to change if put up front under them. if placed mid ship, would only be able to have 2 SLA batteries then. One SLA could be place in the bow under guns, but again guns would most likly have to be modified.
as show, ship weighted in at 23lbs.

Have you considered going with LiFE cells for power? You could have 40 amp hours of capacity for half the weight of SLA cells. A four cell battery runs around $125 from Battery Space. The cells can be wired up into two 20ah packs, one for the pump and one for the rest of the ship and will last an entire day's worth of battling or cruising the pond.

I did look into it some but did not follow thru with it. the SLA is pretty much what i have learned now. the kid also uses the same and our cargo ships also use SLA. trying to keep it simple, easy and the same. it is the wave of the future and will have to imbrace it some time.
