HI Tony yea im pleased with how this build is goin but at the moment im trying to line up the funnel tube with the steam unit's tube as the funnel tube in the top S/S must be able to lift off so i can fit in the main drive 20 amphr 12v batt an so far its a right bugger as when the top S/S is on the funnel tube cover over the steam unit's tube so i cant see how or where it is for the meet up fittting but i will do it just a matter of patience an getting it right

HI GUYS well ive been tryin to get this funnel pipe to line up an well its been a battle
an ive fitted down in the hull the steam unit this is sort of rough for now but i hope to make a better mounting for the steam unit but its now screwed down an the eletronics is just laid to one side in the pic but later in the nxt wk i'll arrange it all properly

 

[boatman]

Now in this pic after a a bit of a battle i have managed to get the funnel pipe lined up with the steam unit but i just got to hope that the tiny 25mm fan is powerfull enough to blow the steam up the full 14inches of the funnell pipe its just as well im fitting in a 40mm fan to help it blow the steam under more pressure

 

[boatman]

here showin the BIG S bend in the steam pipe

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thats a bend and a half!

 

[boatman]

AN what makes it very akward is the fact that it has to be fitted dead on or it wont fit so it can be lifed on an off to fit the main drive battery an here a shot of the front funnell removeded

 

[BattleshipBob]

Man of your skill, piece of cake ( nice victoria sponge )

 

[boatman]

Thats a bend and a half!

HI Bob mate yea it is an it took some bending as well as for most of today i hadnt a clue where or what angle it had to be fitted at so a little NO a lot of patience went into getting this right i must have fitted an removed this mounting at least 10 times but got there in the end an how your wrist boyo ?
