boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

an here the servo is mounted on the H-deck underside fitted with its proper length arm to pull the door up an down an its all in place screwed down but can be easysily removerd if I need to

[boatman]

next pic servo in motion by R/C opening the H-door an as can be seen the pushrod bends quite good but still strong enough to push back up to close said door

[boatman]

door now fully open

[boatman]

AN NOW half way closeing

[boatman]

an shut

WELL now over to work on the other H-door as these two doors will be wired up to a Y lead an both on the same R/C channel so when I hit the switch both the doors will slowy open by me fittin in a servo morph.

this is a devise that allows the servos to be set to different speeds an it will if set to slow the servos will take up to 30 seconds to open or quicker whatever I desire an ive never used one before so will see how it goes .

but now ive come across the unexspected !!!!!!


now as the servo has to face outward I have come across that the servo when activaited will only push upwards an not downwards to pull open the H-door so I have a major problem that reqiures a bit of thought how to get around this

WELL I worked how im gonna get over the servo problem but its a little tricky
here we go now to put it to rights ( I HOPE ) FIRSTLY take the servo to bits an as I go take a pic at each stage so I can see how it all (HOPEFULLY) goes back togeather the first stage

[boatman]

second remove the gears an number them

[boatman]

an third all gears removed now as this is an old sevo but works ok I was hopein the bottom section would be able to be removed so I could see the motor terminals but no joy this is goin to be aweward to say the least
