Then i wont feel to bad because i have asked the Grand Master to come out of his cave to ask many questions my self. Thank goodness some one else is asking to, but i know Patience is priceless:rolleyes:
this is just a thought that came to me I wonder if the torpedos, has enough thrust coming out of it's tube that it may be able to push open a shutter door on it's own like a small week rubber band that would allow it to escape but the door closes on its own after it leaves the chamber. But on the other hand Keep it simple no doors.:)Last edited by deepseadiver; 02-28-2009, 04:29 AM.Put your mind to it. If there's a will there's a way!Comment

The sliding shutter doors on most American designs don't lend themselves to being pushed open, instead -- without a dedicated operating linkage, working off the muzzle door toggle -- they act more like a 'check valve'. Sorry, no easy way to open the shutter door via torpedo motion alone, you would have to provide a trip to open it, that trip activated by the same linkage that shifts the tube from 'battery' to 'fire'.

David,
it sounds complex indeed no doors that's for sure to many linkages, besides it's going to look cool when you see the inside with no doors all painted, with a deadly green torpedo just sitting there ready to be fired.:cool:

Leaving what colour the torpedo will come in to those without an airbrush…(come on guys – don’t like the colour – re-paint it!) :eek:
Here are a few questions of mine. Its not that I am inpatient, its just I tend to build relatively fast and these questions pertain to having my boats ready for the torpedo installation. In fact HMAS Rankin is progressing quickly and I intend from the get go to install the torp system in her. This means I might need to buy and build a new SD for her too.
First: the firing mechanisim.
Do we run a servo linkage out of the SD for this in addition to the electronic gizmo (sequencer)– you mentioned previous that plugs into the RX?
Is RX 5 volt power the only power required for the squencer unit?
If NO for the servo linkage, and its some sort of electrical device plugging from the mechanism back to the SD – how is the electrical wires to the SD waterproofed?
The radio:
Which is the best ctrl from the TX – switch / dial / gimbal?
It is only 1 channel required right?
The 4 shots / tubes –
Can these be configured across the bow OR 2 per side like on a Permit or later SSN?
Torpedo equalisation and ballasting
Does the weight of a fully “propel” charged torpedo roughly equal the free flooded empty tube? Moreover if the shot gets charged in tube prior to release I take it there would be a negligible change in trim (to the bow for example if bow tubes are fitted) to compensate for the liquid propel being distributed in the torpedo forward.
Interior required space in the submarine for 72nd scale system
For a bow configuration?
For two per side like a Permit?
Size (length and diameter of 1/72 scale tubes)?
Size (length and diameter of 1/96 scale tubes)?
And something for my FFG and FFH(targets)
Can these warshots fire from tubes above the surface of the water?
Range of torpedoes in 1/72 and 1/96?
I also read a couple of years back the 1/96 shots actually went further than the 1/72 – was wondering if correct what the science was behind that.
Now that is a list of pain in the back end questions.:DLast edited by Slats; 03-02-2009, 01:07 AM.John Slater

Boys can you do me a favour - drop the panty talk (noise) and get back on topic (signal).
Thanks

I think a four shot system is going to be awesome guys just awesome!!! Its going to really turn heads big time. Big seller thats for sure :D:DLast edited by deepseadiver; 03-02-2009, 01:29 AM.Put your mind to it. If there's a will there's a way!Comment
