Think TYPHOON. Two side-by-side cylinders.

It's been almost FIVE MONTHS when I posted that I would have the two SD's off to Mamas for his STINGRAY models, by the end of the week. Didn't happen, they're still here! I'm so behind in stuff.

Anyway, feeling very guilty (and Mamas has been a real gentelman about it), I've spent a good portion of the weekend working out the five servo pushrods and getting them all to pass through their respective watertight seals without too much binding. Here are the gorry pictures to prove it:



All that is left is to work out the little SD that houses the RateMaster motor and gear unit, make up the devices to the main SD, get things running, and THEN get this long promised item off to Mamas.

High praise indeed. If only I was more timely with my commitments. Going to install the ESC, and other devices tonight and fire this sucker up. Time permitting I'll work out the correct ratio for the RateMaster RPM.

David, any news on the Sub Driver for the Stingray?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Yes, sir. The long, long wait I've put you through is almost over. Very sorry for the delay. Things have been a bit 'interesting' here of late, but now more stable.
