Back Again

Havent been on my blog for quite awhile as I have been busy with equipping the motor launch with radio controlled servos for steering, and motor control. Also had to install the the motor in such a way that it would line up with the angle of the drive line,so as to eliminate vibration which I don't want .

Also had to consider waterproofing where the cabin fitted on to the deck. Needless to say that the cabin I had did not work,so had to rebuild a new one directly to the deck where I was able to waterproof the joint so water wont get in. Everyone knows what could happen when water and electricity come together don’t they. Also developed a steering mechanism for dual rudders from one servo, and am happy to say it really works.

Its no easy job building a boat that wont sink,incidentally I tried my boat out in a little pond in my back yard, and it doesn't leak. I’m one happy camper.
