Post by: Jerry C on November 08, 2013, 08:47:55 am: I found I had to extend the "A" frame slots forward by 1/8" to get correct distance between "A"frame and rudder tubes. See my blog if the build below.

Jerry.

I'd be inclined to agree with this, I remember having to move my A frame slots forward but I couldn't tell you how much.

Nice start to your build, good luck and enjoy the rest!

Post by: NFMike on November 12, 2013, 03:52:00 pm: Yes, I found the markings on the hull and the drawing dimensions didn't quite match, for both the A-frames and propshaft openings.
You'll need to make some choices yourself, but making sure everything is true and free before gluing is vital.
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Darksheer on November 14, 2013, 06:45:23 pm: little update
i now have a intimate understanding of the term "fiddly"

finally got both shafts epoxied in and lined up "i hope" they look good and the numbers all match
it was a case of measuring 20 times praying once and gluing after applying gobs of tape to hold everything in place

here are the pictures
the Hull now gets put aside untill the speed control and bow thruster arrive from UK
going to work on the bridge and start applying the hull framing

Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on December 06, 2013, 10:54:14 am: Tip ................

Regarding the smoke stacks, it is easier to fit the ladder rungs and ancillaries before you secure them to the cabin.

Cheers

Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Darksheer on December 06, 2013, 02:44:24 pm: I havent attached them yet thankfully as im waiting for the smoker to arrive so i can run the piping

Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on January 01, 2014, 11:15:43 am: What sort of angle is there on the motor mount ? It does look too much towards the horizontal.

Ken
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Darksheer on January 01, 2014, 05:53:40 pm: its braced at a 45 degree angle so i can get at it if anything goes wrong a few people in my club have had problems with bow thrusters and were unable to get at the unit to fix them so they left them disabled which is why i mounted it this way
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on January 01, 2014, 08:12:19 pm: 45 degrees back might work out OK, only the picture looks more like 80 degrees so I was worried.

The seal will stop water ingress to the hull so that's fine.

Cheers

ken
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: NFMike on January 01, 2014, 08:55:47 pm: Looking at the MS drawings I'd say 60° would be better, to line up with the deck opening under the superstructure. But from the photo it looks like you have mounted it a bit further forward, so 45° might be about right. (The main thing is to be able to get a screwdriver in to the mounting flange screws.)
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Darksheer on January 01, 2014, 09:22:40 pm: here is a better shot of it with the deck tacked in place

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/IMG_0698_zps7081f5d0.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/IMG_0698_zps7081f5d0.jpg.html)

its very easy to get at as far as i can tell

and yes it is mounted much closer to the bow about 2 1/2 inches closer than what the plans state

motor mounts in as well

Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: derekwarner on January 25, 2014, 12:55:17 am: Darksheer....that is an interesting anchor winch motor/servo..... O0

Car to share how the mod was achieved?...does it run 360 degrees +? ..how do you control it?.....

Derek
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Darksheer on January 25, 2014, 03:08:50 am: its a standard servo with some simple modifications
I tore one down and took pictures

ill explain each photo

ok here is a standard futaba digital servo that volunteered for the operation
pretty much any servo will work

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0724_zpsfba3419e.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0724_zpsfba3419e.jpg.html)

first thing you do is remove the 4 screws off the bottom and take the lower and upper half of the servo apart

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0725_zps435b6315.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0725_zps435b6315.jpg.html)

next you pull the final drive off the top of the servo this might be on tight if it has a bearing race on it just carefull work it back and forth and it will pop off
once you have the drive off you will notice a small tab near the bottom of the drive stem this has to be removed so you get 360 traverse once its removed refit the post to the servo and make sure it rotates freely without catching

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0726_zps17f2102b.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0726_zps17f2102b.jpg.html)

once you ensure it rotates freely look at the bottom of the post you will see a small slot inside the gear this bit attaches to a pot inside the servo that stops the servo at certain positions usually this slot is removeable and can be popped out with needle nose pliers if its not removeable you will need to drill it out making sure the pot does not rotate with it replaced

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0727_zps7a351419.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0727_zps7a351419.jpg.html)

once you get to the point you need to plug the servo in and power up your system the servo will start spinning
use your hand dandy needle nose pliers to turn the pot that is under the final drive gear util the servo stops
NOTE: sometimes the servo is already at true neutral so you dont need to turn anything basically if it stops on its own after a second dont touch anything once it stops move the stick on the remote back and forth and you should see the gears move
at this point put the servo back together and you have a unlimited proportonal servo to use for anything you want
these servo's also make great motors and speed controls for small scale models like the lindberg coastguard tugs plastic kits
my lindberg diesel tug model is powered by a servo and i get 6+ hour runs off the reciever batteries which power everything

(http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/Submug/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0728_zps11b5e889.jpg) (http://s122.photobucket.com/user/Submug/media/AZIZ%20BUILD/winch%20servo/IMG_0728_zps11b5e889.jpg.html)

hope this helped

PS forum owner if this needs to get moved to a how to section or something please feel free to move it
and apologies if this is in the wrong section

Derek
Title: Re: AZIZ Build
Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on January 25, 2014, 10:41:05 am: A very handy tip which is useful.

As an addition, it's a good idea to drop hot candle wax on the pot to stop it turning with vibration. (soft enough to alter it if needed)

No, they don't.
The Harbor Models unit has several different voltage outputs from a 12v input (3, 4.8, 6 and 12), all fed by fan-cooled linear voltage regulators. All outputs are via circuit breakers. It is quite a bulky affair and costs a hundred and twenty bucks in the US. With shipping and VAT you'd be looking at maybe a hundred and seventy quid in the UK. ACTion's power D/Bs are all similar in that they are fused and the output terminals are all at the same voltage as the input, with the exception of the 5v flylead to feed power to the receiver. You'd get six of them and change from £170.

its basically the same dimensions as 3 mobiles stacked on top of each other
which in larger boats is almost nothing

the harbor models sound module is tiny about the size of a 20 pack of cigarettes but is insanely loud

Title: More work
Post by: Darksheer on April 15, 2014, 04:47:58 am: things are coming together fast now I should have her in the water finished when the pond thaws in the next few weeks
everything is done its just a case of adding all the fittings and finishing the front deck off leaving that till last so its easier to get inside the hull if i need to change something

Post by: Darksheer on April 29, 2014, 07:19:04 pm: loads more to add today
she went in the water on sunday and it worked out well had a few small snags but over all very happy with the performance

fried the bow thruster speed control "was about 6 years old" that will teach me to recycle old parts
Y splitter to fire monitors cracked wide open "water stayed inside the boat instead of going out "
rear deck leaks like a sieve " going to seal the deck down with silicone people are right this is a very wet boat over the rear cargo deck "
adding the final detail over the next few weeks and once the weapons arrive she will be finished

enjoy the videos and pictures

new rear deck and loading ramp finished

Why I ? {-)

I find this very clean kit, that changes us the one that we saw recently. There are things which surprise me as the accommodation of the high speaker or the survivals orange but it is very well made and the paint is attractive :-)) :-)) :-))
