torpedo system

[Tutor]

As a manufature of resin kits and designer, I completely understand, all that goes into a project, I was just looking for some info, as to set up, cost so I can budget for them, If the pressure is too much, sorry.

As for product design, may I suggest design and testing first, then post the product when ready, I do that so as not to get every one gung ho, then wait. IMHO

Yes we all want to know.., I for one want to know:
-how the mechanism / switch etc will go in the subdriver:
-whether you need an extra servo and push rod linkage;
-what the linkage will entail;
-whether or not the torpedoes loaded displace a similar amount of water (weight) as an empty tube;
- exactly how much space you need;
-whether or not the 4 shot tubes are configurable in 2 plus 2 combos (like in a Sturgeon each side) or whether or not they 4 across;
-what channel should the system go on (toggle / rotary etc)

But for heaven sake - BE PATIENT.

I'm of the arrogant point of view that some wanting the system can't handle such a system. Sorry but this hobby attracts its fair share of some which want instant gratification with little understanding of the craftsmanship or design underlying it. IMO you don't appreciate what you don't understand. Lay off the caveman.

This thread is becoming a bit like carting toddlers around on a road trip..."are we there yet"

either that or your getting the green light for home plate with a prom date.


Settle down boys and wait. Good things take time.
If you don't have the patience to wait you won't get very far in this hobby.

Too easy mate....God (that's Mr Merriman to you), has perfected previously the 1/96 scale and 1/72 torpedo - wait for his unit to be available for purchase and you won't be disappointed.

David,
I'm just wondering, what are those holes for on the rear of the torpedo tubes in your torpedo launcher banner. Wouldn't it cause your gas to leak into the hull and reduce power to launch the fish:confused:

'Throtteling' holes. There to reduce the velocity of the weapon as it hits the water.

Hi John,
the gato is 1/72 scale size thats the torpedo size would be needed to fit it.
