Boy!... did you punch up the wrong thread!

Yeah, I wasn't sure where to post the question. This thread seems to have the most activity and covers a lot of active work so I thought that more people might see it. Was hoping someone actively working on one might be somewhere on here.

I've browsed around on the forum but I don't see any posts (unless I'm missing them) regarding the 3D printed Seaview from Ken Lane. I've been slowly working on this and I'm just wondering if anyone else is. Looking to see what you're doing/planning for your build.

always loved the lines of the Alfa. what’s scale is that new one, David?

Same as the old one, 1/72

(And, no. I was referring to the other old one... the one in foreground... Jake!)

Do you find the Z bend always the easiest to use, and does it have the best range of motion?

Good range of (rotational) motion, marginal anti-back-lash. But good enough for us. Chosen because I'm from the school of, 'don't permit perfection to become the death of accomplishment'. If it works, don't fix it.

Dave, I’m always afraid of putting stress on the entrance/exit of the servo linkage while bending them, causing damage to the gasket. I use another pair of holders on the exit to ensure I don’t. You make it look easy and unnecessary. Also, I’ve never seen you slip that cut out WTC on when you bend the linkage. That’s a new one on me.

I have the complete range (diameter) of those 'linkage/pushrod integrating jigs' but this appears to be the first picture I've posted of one being used.







Though I'm long out of production-mode of WTC assembly, I still break out the relevant tooling, jigs. fixtures and documents (not lost in the flood) when the need arises.

What was once a business is now again a hobby.

Looks like this is the way to go with RCing the Das Derk 1/72 U-9.

Just one of many possible ways.
