HELLO Gregg nice to have you along on board an very sorry to hear your family friend has passed really sad that an he had plenty to talk about of his times on tiger did he ever mention the 278 search radar wheather it revolved or what ? as I have on another forum two people sayin different things about how it operated as I am goin to make it work but so far not much info on it an it would be nice if you could pm me a tale or two of what the gent said when he served on tiger an the rardar what is the 278 is on the back of the rear main mast about half way down [ATTACH=CONFIG]n1124264[/ATTACH]

Unfortunately no info with regards to that , sorry.
He was in charge of something to do with the weapons, but he never talked about it really.
He mostly talked of the different places they visited.

HIYA Paul yea she comin on but still got to wait about a month for them collets or collars to fit to the radar sharft as I cant start to fit anything in for it at all as its all got to start at that point as its all got to be dead square or there will be problems

but thankfully jen came into my man cave this morn an declared right this has got to be tieded up an dump some of the boxes I had built up to store an use carboard to make mock ups of things an I thought I may as well help her as the bla*sted aliens had been in an took my ball an socket joint has I only had two an they just dissapperd overnight I looked nr all day yesterday an could not find them

but within 20mins of SWMBO bein in that room she found them right where i thought id lost them crazy enit but I looked there must have been ten times an I never see them anyway after a little victory dance as jen :rolling: her eyes i was back on the case of gettin the hanger doors workin again yahoooooooo so the build will carry on again tomorrow im a happy bunny now an hope Paul you are well

UPDATE GETTING THE HANGER DOORS WORKING FROM R/C
HI ALL well now that SWMBO has found them ball an socket joints I could not find I have been hard at it getting the H-doors working an so that its easyier to do this I bought myself off ebay a servo worker with out all the R/C all I need is 6v batt, a switch, an this unit, an a servo, an im off an as the dial is turned so it works the servo through it full sweep an then back

[boatman]

AN so a shot of the main components at the door, hanger door ,mounting to open an shut the door ,ball an socket joint ,an a rough servo arm I say rough as I had to work out the throw length of push rod ( but this servo arm I dint use ) which will be seen soon

[boatman]

an here is the push an pull rod linked to the H-door in it yellow outer casin

[boatman]

an lookin forwards to where the push rod is goin through the H-deck an down to the servo
