Good morning all Friends..first of all wishing you all a happy and merry Christmas..and happy new year..i consider this craft as project of this year...the KINGFISHER..my mighty trawler...
its based on ample of imagination,with some inspiration from all over the world..but still 90% is my imagination..for impatient hearts..see nece VIDEOS here...
king fisher at DAY...here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvfg8FQobks
king fisher at night here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlwsPSSjqtA enjoy it..
-
as usual i started my work from scratch...the expanded polystrene..
-
motor was my main head ache..so i reworked it for 4.8 volts, and thrust pump motor in to 6 volts..so doing well...in full throttle it drops only 700 Mamps...
-
all structure was made out of foam board and drawing papers...
-
on..
-
wheels and pullies came from old scraped taperecoder and walkman...hile the winch was made from paper and thread...
-
as i have ample of crafts with me..looking for a professional radio is not feasible..so i turned to toy RC...at first i started with a 27 MHz system..then changed my mind to 49MHz , so i can use my craft in conjunction with other...
-
just looking in to my scraped toy collections...i have ample of rc sets...
-
and the mechanicals...you can see here some motor alternations for my craft...so it withstands an ample of rough useage...for hours without fail...
-
i took coper wire from this tweeter for rewinding...a transistorised speed controller is intended to use here...and the water pump..at corner..is meant for pumping water from either side of my craft..to make some realism...
-
LIGHTING...i was not much interested to add lights on my crafts..until i got a chance to play with my craft at night...it was awesome...so i decided to add ample of real effect lights here...all bulbs came from an old decoration light set...and LEDs...result..HUMMMMMM....
-
from now i will add ample of light to my crafts as my Papa allowed me to go to the grand home pool at night until 7...heyyyyyy....
-
fixing some lights on a craft is not an easy task...ohhh..but when finished...OMMMMMM
-
And its ready for the show...
-
i tried to place me here myself..and you can see me here...hi...hi....
-
and its a nice looking one...SHE IS A BEAST...SHE IS STUNNING...SHE IS MIGHTY...SHE IS MODERN AND SOPHISTICATED...SHE IS DANGEROUSLY BEAUTIFUL...Hi...Hi...
-
WISH YOU ALL MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR...FROM LOVING RACHU...

Davi..when we see a notification on a toy as 27MHz, we will not think much.but there is a heavy science behind it.actually i was making radio cont: sets on 1990s, as i was studying at plus two.i have a good base in electronics from my child hood as my elder brothers were much interested in electronics.my just elder brother Krishna is my Guru in electronics and model making. so i was making my own radio systems from mere wireless FM mikes and a simple FM pocket radio.the 27 MHZ here is the only carrier wave. you can use any carrier wave for you, but within your legal limitation.here in my country toys are allowed in to, 18 MHz to 79 MHz..so..? ample of radio range...in my experience a carrier around 35 MHZ to 40 MHz will be better as they penetrates through many obstacles to me...i can go for from 2 to 22 channels by adding RX 2 ics in line.RX 6 B can hold up to 7 function.i never use any proportional system to me. i consider it as a slavery..with a free motor we can do anything that we think.here with my circuit you can do anything. can turn a motor..can switch a relay..can operate a speed controller with reverse..can make horns..and if you need you can go for a proportional one with 6 additional transiators..all that i cant explain here..so my mail id is MODERATED.please give me a note from you if you need my circuits.i will type all at home and will send you, because i do not have any int connection at home..now i am in a cafe 30 kms from home...happy again...
