Chris,
I have just had a good catch up, apologies for not commenting sooner. The great work and attention to detail continues. This build shows your skills off to a tee.

HI ALL well im back today properly on my tiger build an ive got to start today by makeing X 2 of these cam switches fitted with hopefully a micro servos underneath each unit to turn the cams so with X 5 knock on switches an X 2 cam switches it will be X 10 KNOCK on switches to work things
that will be working on tiger an at the moment im having a hard time getting my head around all that i want to work off these switches so i will have to make out a list to get them all in the right order that i want them to work but i always so far have forgotten something as i treid last wk when i was i'll an i just could not get it right
so now im better hopefully things will all fall into place on how i want it so a pic of the one in my norfolk for you guys to get a little idea of what i want to build an i cant remember how i did it so i think i will take out the cam switch in norfolk as it just unplugs an unscrews so i can remove it to study how its built an its the big red cam unit in pic as i built this 5 yrs ago an on tiger im gonna try an tidy the wireing up a bit more as it do look a bit of a jumble

I have no idea what any of that does, how it works and how it connects......
It will be interesting to see a comparison of what the two look like.
Hats off to you Chris, simply mind-blowing stuff....

G/M to you Andrew well i know what is what an what does what but in my tiger there is so much more to work eg' in tiger there is a bow thruster that has to work an push water from left to right an back again but there is not one fitted in norfolk so thats just one more thing my TRANSMITTER will work an so far as i can think there are several more things that will be working in tiger that nofolk hasnt got thats why i bought a 14 cha R/C T/X AN with these 2X cam switches another 10 things will also come into play so all in i think it will work up to 24 things working so i will just have to make some small stickers to fit to the T/X so i know what that lever or switch will do pic below of my new T/X an yes Andrew It will be interesting to see a comparison of what the two look like. as this time im gonna try an make the twin units smaller an more tidy if possible an thanks Andrew FOR YOUR INTREST

AN G/M to you Jim also an firstly i havnt had the eye op yet as they pulled me in again to hospital to assess my eyes as yes im one of those awkward people that has funny eyes as the surgon said your eyes dont operate normally as the pupils should open an close with how much light that enter pupils but mine dont they stay just pin pricks an wont open so they are goin to fit some special eyedrops in to try an get my pupils to open an then they are goin to fit in new lences in both eyes an im a bit worried over this but will see how it goes
an yes its a bit of a job to know whats what in the units in the ship but this layout in norfolk is easy im glad to say
as its
no1 red cam switch
no 2 servo with arms to hit small knock on swithes for wooper sound unit an fog horn
no 3 the black unit with the yellow dieals in just a varible power output reducer from 12v down through the voltages to 1'5 volts
no 4 is a multi fuse box
an no 5 is a relay to help boost the power in the wirein layout
an 6 an 7 are sound units so no real problem of knowing whats what but in tiger there is an will be oh so much more as i want tiger to be the biggest thing ive ever attempted hows that
an thank you Jim for your intrest also like Andrew
ATB to you

WELL Guys just taken that cam unit out of norfolk so now she's camless lol an yes it did exsackley as i designed it to an it did just unplug an then unscrew an the whole cam switch unit came out as one as this is the first time in 5yrs that its been taken out
but now its out i can take it up to the model room to build the two units for tiger but hopefully useing micro servo's as nice an light but they have a strong push an pull on the cam agaianst the micro switches but in this unit ive used here has a full size servo for maximin cam throw lenght
so wheather the mico servos will throw enough is still yet to be determinided so today its just gonna be a day of experiements testing the micro servos throw lenght against the full size servo throw an see what i can come up with fitting on different servo heads for size an throw on the micro servos
an here a pic of the cam switches unit removed from my norfolk top veiw of unit
