Oh!Yea? So now you have 25 hours in a day? :) Get back to work!Crack That WHipCrack That WHip

Get to work slave

We were patiently waiting for pictures of the New Torpedos you Made! :D
Have you let us Down Again?! :D

me me i could not figure out one of those things if my life was betted on it .:D:D oh thank goodness we have David , to come to the resque.:)

Take you time David im sure it will turn out great ! Oops did i say that oh boy im in trouble know.

I've allocated an hour a day to continue the 1/72 torpedo launcher 'final version' Should have something to report in a week or so. Film at 11.

BlahBlahBlahit's been to dam quite here i guess everyone is all talked out. I will figure out something interesting to mention

David,
I certain don't think that you are ignoring me. You have proven time and again to be a man of your word and you will provide and answer and I am very happy to wait
I just added that question as it sprang to mind.
Please do not feel hassled mate. You take as much time as you need.
Your the hardest work man in this whole dam Navy!

LOL. Thanks for that (now ducking for cover, Mr. Caswell will shortly be on the phone with another reaming). Today I'm scrambling to finish the written instructions for the kit version of our 3.5 mod 2 SubDriver. It never ends ...

John! John! What AM I to do with you? Don't tell him stuff like this. Tell him to get his behind off the sofa and hurry up!!!Crack That WHipCrack That WHipCrack That WHipCrack That WHip

John,

You're questions (the early set and current) are relevant and deserved of answer. I swear, I'm not ignoring you, I've just been busy with other things of late. I'll address these good questions soon.

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.:D

Adding to my above list of painful questions for David is:

Transportablity / Transferability
Will the torpedo system be transferable from boat to boat in much the same way a SD can be shared amongst similar sized models?

To clarrify, I'd imagine that you would install fixed tubes inside a model, but was wondering if the these could be a sleave set up where by the torpedo tubes containing the torpedoes themselves could sleave into a greater outside diameter tube fixed in each boat, there by allowing the whole torpedo system to move from one boat to another of the same scale?

I can live with those kind of rules sounds like they have conditions to reduce any injurys.

[Slats]

come to Canada, model rocket rules are.

5 miles from an airport
no great then 30 degrees off vetrical
must have recovery system , ie, shoot, tumbel or glide
any thing over 5000 feet you have to file a flite plan( man is fun to do)

and thats it.
oh ta, use commen sence.

Its pretty much the same in Australia.
My on board VLS systems of 72nd scale targets use Mirco rocket engines as these are scale for SM2, Harpoon, and are overscale for evloved Seasparrow. Nonetheless I have had to mount these within VLS silos, my Harpoon cannisters I am putting on my Anzac frigate are around 35 degrees off vertical and to be within the law I either adjust the pitch (out of scale), or keep the system within the VLS (vertical).

Now that's rocketry aside lets get back on to torpedoes.
