Login problem is solved, back to business,
Made this lower part on the lathe, added a tube with some cutted slits.
Drilled through the shaft of the wing and placed this rod.
The rod inside the shaft connects to the turned part, now i'm able to lift the deck, and each time i place the deck back this connection will be made automatic, position of the wing will be straight on the deck.
To prefent the shaft from falling out when turning the upperdeck upside down, i made a collar which secures the shaft on it's place.
Next step was making the connection to the rod which is connected to the servo, had some spare graupner parts from my declassified VII, they proved to be usefull, this will be the above surface position, i can tweek the position by turning that threaded rod and secure the position by fastening the nuts.
By pushing the servo rod, the wing will turn into the position during diving, not sure if i want to make this a automatic action or keep it manual, i expect the germans played with the positon of the wing compared with the speed, it seems logical to me that you can adjust the position during diving, have to think about that.
First step in getting working torpedo doors, had to place the boat into a rather risky position.
Used my chair to keep the boat in it's position, secured the tail with a large amount of ducktape, used 2K epoxy glue, it takes about 1 hour to get solid, 24 hours to harden completely.
For now i have to make the spring which will close the doors and shorten the servo rods controlling the tubes/doors, also adding a connector to the rods using my graupner connectors, loads of work, stay tuned.
