Look powerful! What the motor setup?

Aurigarius · « **Reply #107 on:** April 24, 2010, 07:35:11 PM »

It's a Standard 600 Type Motor from one of my Airplanes with a 40mm Raboesch brass prop.
2x 3400 6V pb-Batteries in parallel.

I have to ask this...are these ~~Sprhrunger~~ ~~Shrunger~~ ~~Vorschrunger~~ Spring thing kits still available?

Aurigarius · « **Reply #109 on:** April 25, 2010, 06:52:18 PM »

Yes it is. Although we need a couple of days at the moment to make the kits because we cannot use the laser-cutter every day.

Aurigarius · « **Reply #110 on:** April 26, 2010, 08:41:54 AM »

Wow - it can make biiiig waves... :)

My scratchbuilt Springer Mk 1
Autodock-mode enabled:

springer3 · « **Reply #112 on:** May 20, 2010, 04:53:27 PM »

And my newer, bigger one from the kit Aurigarius wrote about.
No brushed motor anymore, but a smaller brushless one now.
I had to glue a part of a clear plastic card between the bumpers to
avoid the waves from cleaning the deck house...

Easy to build, easy to paint. Riggid and lightweight. I like it.

Have had my first experiments with aging my Springer Tug (dry brushing)
Never did it before. Not too bad for the first time I think.

Aurigarius · « **Reply #114 on:** June 07, 2010, 09:03:47 AM »

Done a little more detailing now. Flag, Mast (has to be painted) and exhaust (muffler from one of my old RC-Cars - doesn't need the aging-treatment, because it has lots of 'real-life aging'.

Next is the electronics department.

By the way: I would love to see what became of the springer kits I sent to some members of this forum. Do you have any pictures of your build to post here?

CaptVos · « **Reply #115 on:** July 14, 2010, 04:10:25 AM »

Hey Aurigarius i live here in the states and ive been reading the thread how much is your kit in dolllars? and what would it cost to get it here? plus is there any particular way i can just get the hull and i can do the deck and wheel house?

Aurigarius · « **Reply #116 on:** July 15, 2010, 07:56:00 AM »

Hihoo,

it is no problem to send a kit to the USA. I did that before.

But at the moment I am not able to make new kits, because I have lost the opportunity to use the lasercutter I was using up until now.
I am looking for something new. But this should take a little time.

I hope to be back on track very soon. Any news will be reported here.

Any news on a new laser cutter source?

Foggy bottom · « **Reply #122 on:** October 17, 2010, 04:40:01 AM »

WARNING!!!
DO NOT let your wife, Daughter, or girlfriend see the springer kit! (mine saw the kit, I tried to order one.) But now they are unavailable! So now the pressure is on to build HER one. And she wants it NOW!

Think things changed so full production never happened.

Hi - a long time ago Arrow5 asked if any of the kits sold to the UK were on show. Judging from the reponse I guess the answer was no. Well, I need to practice sending pictures to this forum so here are pictures of mine which is still a work in progress - might even finish it one day.

The quality of the kit was first class. It's a pity their manufacture came to an end.

As you can see, mine is the basic model - same as the one built by Aurigarius himself.

Nice to see another Kit-Springer again :)

I get asked quite regularly, where to purchase one of these Aurigarius Springer-Kits.
They are no longer available and most probably will not get into production any more.
The reasons for this are mentioned in this thread.

So it's probably a good idea to turn this thread into a normal one and no longer have it pinned in this forum. (Admins are you reading this?) ;-)

But there is hope for everyone, not willing to scratch-build one.
German manufacturer Aeronaut just announced a Springer-Kit on this years toy-fair in Nuremberg.

http://www.aero-naut.de/produkte/schiffsmodellbau/schiffsmodelle/kommerzielle-schifffahrt/ramborator.html

I don't know anything about prices and availability and the page is all in German, but I can tell you it is according to the international rules. It will be available in the shop and online shop I work for now as soon as it is available from Aeronaut.

I am at the Aeronaut-booth in Nuremberg on sunday and hope to get more details then.

tadaa
