road block

Ha, turns out, after all the parts i got, i didn't get a speed controller so i couldn't do any motor work (with it running at least). back to the hobby shop tomorrow. actually i'm gonna try a new shop in a addition to that one.

did some work on setting up the rigging for the rudder. check it out!

as the servo turns, the ball/socket link translates that movement to the tiller which in turn rotates the rudder. you see none of that here except the servo. thats because its all rubbish parts for the moment. but thats a mock mechanism for controlling the rudder. not to scale either - the shaft is going to be way longer obviously.


in case you wanna see the motor and screw + shaft, heres a shot of that. it'll run tomorrow hopefully (as in if i don't buy the wrong stuff again)


on a final note, i think i'm only talking to you daniel. That is if you're even still here.
