Not thinking

I thought id need a crown gear on the top to drive the main front radar but after a bit of thought I was thinking well I just don't know how big a gear I'll need so I fitted this gear as a try out when I've fitted the R-MOTOR

An a close up shot so all these gears will need to be tested as when one gear is fitted on to another it revolves in the opposite direction so quite a bit of patience is gonna be required to get this all working right

Technical work. I like that mast. You have put a lot of work into that and you haven't even finished it yet.

frogman3 · « **Reply #468 on:** June 26, 2020, 09:21:22 pm »

top veiw shot an there has got to be alot more fitted on to the mast before i can say its finished but for the moment waiting for some more brass rod off ebay an the radars are just rough balsa for the moment to see if they are goin at the right about speed an im happy with them

I don't quite follow the large boxes you have on the mast, as they do not appear on the drawings or on images of the real ships., I assume it is poetic licence to hide the gears included some of the RN model showing the mast set up.

HI Bob you have answered your own question as i said i was usein a bit of moddelers licence to get these radars workin hence the gearboxs which when i get all the railings an such on they wont be so noticeable

Cheers Chris
looks like there will be a world shortage of cogs and gears by time you are done, along with the rack and pinion for CVA antennae operation that I have used.

At long last we are now allowed back to sailing, been to long, but no car for at least another week
