wha happen? where'd ev'ry body go?
« on: March 17, 2008, 10:31:29 PM »
I only went away for a fortnight, and now I cant find anything!! :'( :'( :'(

So if I cant find the page relating to servos (would that be "electronic" or "mechanical" or "engineering"?) I'd better post it here and see what happens  :)

I have a 90 degree servo, but I want to steer the boat with it. Although there are 2 rudders, I dont think 45 degrees either side of dead ahead is going to be enough. Am I right?, if so, how do I modify the servo / linkage to get more steering??

Pretty please?? ;)

Anything more than 35 degrees each way is wasted and acts as a brake in the water.

Thats good news (I think). It will certainly save me time and money ( this is a GOODE THINGE  :D :D)
Would there be any circumstances in normal boating that The "braking effect" would be desirable?

And just for future reference, what folder should this have gone in? The "electronics" seems to have disappeared altogether ???
Thanks.
