Several people have asked me to provide more in formation on LizzyB, Swordsman, so here it is, including: Motor, electronics, circuit diagram, paint and transfers, and mechanical components:
The circuit diagram shows the various electronic modules and their specification, so no need to list them again. The high current wiring is red and black as usual, and so is the lamp wiring. Signal wiring colours are R = red, B = Black, W = white, and Br = brown. These colours vary between manufacturers.
Futaba radio TX T2HR, RX R202GF, 2.4GHz FHSS 2HR, and servo is a Futaba S3003.
Motor coupling: CNC5 Kali coupling M8 thread to 5mm plain plus a home-made M8 to M4 adaptor - Prestwich Model Boats. Note: Huco type couplings are rated up to 1000rpm, and there are reports of breakages penetrating hulls! The CNC5 coupling has a considerably higher capacity both torque and revs. - probably in excess of 20,000rpm.
Motor has a home-made water-cooled mount.
ESC brushless speed control - ZTW Shark Marine 70A with BEC and water cooled.
Windscreen - 2mm polycarbonate. Very tough, but can be bent cold. Much stranger than Perspex. Central support, aluminium. Hame made.
Navigation lights - red, green, and white 12V, 20mA LED. Instrumentation lamps - 12V, 20mA LED.
Motor isolation switch (normally used on motor bike). 60V DC, 100A continuous current, max current 300A
All fixings - stainless steel
Current propeller - 2 blade, X series, G.F. M4, 45mm diameter. Depending on pond trials, I also have 40mm and 50mm diameter.
Paintwork - All paint solvent based. Inside - I coat primer and one coat white under coat. Outside - One coat primer, one coat white undercoat, one coat gloss finishing - white for hull and cabin roofs. Ultramarine blue - transom and cabin sides. Paint by Johnstons Decorating Centre.
Deck finish - LF Teak Stain, one part stain to three parts thinners. Then, four coats of Ronseal Gloss Yacht Varnish.
Transfers - Transom lettering and logo - medium yellow, plotter cut vinyl. Cabin sides Swordsman logo - white on transparent backing. Designed by me and supplied by Stickers International.
General - I'm not one for sticking sticky to scale. For example: I decided not to fit an eye-pocking-out mast. I have not fitted hand rails to the cabin roof or around the deck, because they easily get broken. And i have purposely not fitted a pretend steering wheel, but just fitted a motor isolator switch, indicator lamps to show the state of the electronics, and an audio visual alarm for when the battery starts to go low.
That's about all I can think of at the moment. No doubt more things will come to mind. Please let me know if there is anything else I can tell you about LizzyB.
Kind regards - Fuse Wire
