STING RAY..with FISHTAIL PROP....
« on: July 14, 2011, 01:47:04 pm »

Good evening all of my Friends...when i decided to make a craft with FISHTAIL PROP, it was a great head ache to me, that about the mechanism of a actuator...so i searched painstakingly all over the net..most of the mechanism of the crafts were too complicated to adopt...4 servos, hydraulics...and some was backed up by EPROM...!!!!...so none of them arent suitable to me...so i turned to my own drawing board...
and this time i am thanking to one of my Colleague, who is a mechanical engineer working in the field of aviation..for presenting me a brand new set of X ACTO knife...and yes loads of putty and paints...hi...hi...

I know, that a craft with a fishtail prop must be some thing unusual in nature...so i contacted one marine engineer, working in Naval force, for some reff: but he discouraged me a lots, and he said me, that it wont work...but i started my work, and the result was astonishing...

Yes..i started my work, as usual, with thermocol...

All we know that it is not possible to apply putty on the thermocol...so after a simple proses, i call it SEASONING, i started to work with putty on it....

as the craft is intended to work on river, i coated it with red oxide...

very neat. Would it go better if more of the fish tail was in the water? You appear to only have half actually in the water. You also appear to have a bow thruster for steering. Well done. nice bit of lateral thinking
