Quickly I Turned...

Author: PaulC | Posted at: 7:55 AM | |
Did a check on the travel needed for the rack to turn the rudder. Was surprised to learn that the current setup only requires about 1/8" push-pull to turn the rudder 35 degrees port and starboard of center. Less than I was anticipating. Should help keep things simple as I get into hooking the linkage up and making the rack fit within the confines of the upper rudder.

About Me

The first movie I saw in a theater was Disney's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" (1971 re-release). The first grown-up book I read was "War Fish" by George Grider. Built hundreds of plastic kits growing up. Saw an article on The SubCommittee in the mid 90's and joined. Began first foray into radio controlled subs in 1998.
