Today's work on the little Revell SKIPJACK fittings kit

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

David,

In post 156, one of the pictures shows a hole drilled in the Fwd bulkhead and a small tube in it. Could you explain what tis is for and how to use it?

This little subdriver is giving me more headaches the the other 3 I have. This thing is tighter then OJ's glove!!!!!!! I finally found a battery that would fit!! Now I'm waiting for Kevin and the upgraded ADF 2 which will work with the 6 Channel Synthesized Corona Receiver.

Regards,

Myron

You install the bulkhead with the 1/16" hole in its center, then equip the screeding blade with a four-inch long length of 1/16" brass rod. Drill a 1/16" hole in the bow of the hull. You run the rod into the bow, and into the bulkhead -- two-point bearings that keep the rod oriented longitudinally into the model. The screeding blade rotates around the boats longitudinal axis as it scrapes away uncured two-part automotive filler re-contouring the models too blunt bow.

We having fun yet?

Is there a scribe templete for the mini SkipJack???

Yup. Mine. Not available. Make your own.

What adhesive do you apply to secure the Lexan cover to the servo box? Thank you.

Still another...............How does the aft movable hortizontal diving plane attach to the non-moving part? (besides the wire attaching to the inner part)

Thx again

Here's how I hook things up:



As to the means of holding the outboard ends of the stern planes to the outboard bearings of the fixed stabilizers: two short lengths of teeni-whincie-mini diameter wire (.010" or so) or streached-sprue.

Yet another dumb question.............Do you have any photos/drawings of the electronics connected together? Thx again

PS looks like I've been promoted!

GRRRrrrrrr.....!

.................Duh I meant to say Evercoat

[secrtwpn]

Evergreen it is ...............:-)

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

In a week (when we are back from vacation) I'm gonna start the reshaping of the bow. Any other substances besides the Evercoat (such as Milliput) that would work. I'm not familar with the Evercoat line. And any suggestions how to do it.......

If I ment Milliput, I would have SAID Milliput.

Too stiff!

I said to use one of the Evercoat two-part fillers for a reason!

That reason is the very smooth, easy to spread, nature of the stuff!

Mr. Caswell caries it, I recommend either the Evercoat Metal Glaze or Rage.

Get hoping!

Don't make me come over there!
