jims Tyhpoon TK-208 build

[deepseadiver]

Tk 20 had them from the start.

excellent yes i was just having fun to let the public guess what they were before I told. For a long time i did not know what they were since the kit I have from Engel does not come with them. I put some on to make it look more detailed interesting. Planning to add detail to the conning tower as well . To me its performance and detail, that makes a RC sub comes to life. God I love building these things. There a big challenge to me but a lot of fun .
cheers Jim

Those are for the towed array sonar. Not all subs had them the colour pictures you posted are from the last refit of TK208 when she was renamed Dmitriy Donskoi. TK208 did not have them as built.

Alrighty, people. It seems there is a truce, albeit a tenuous one. I'm cleaning house in this thread, removing the off-topic diatribe for future posterity.

I did it a little different for those push rods. I used regular servo horns. Also I found I need to reinforce the bend on the push rods to stop them flexing - very important for the rear dive plane servo for good depth keeping.

Hi thanks for the tip I really like what you did right on. Good stuff to know picture explain what you did very well
if I see any flex I may do the same . So far it looks solid when I work the servo between push rod and rudder.

Thanks

Jim :)
