more update pics on the hangar bay as ive now fitted in the lights an if they seem a bit to bright i can say paint over black over the leds as they are only an inch apart but first the hangar doors opening by a servo morph to make them work slowly an then when fully open the servo arm hits a knock on switch that ativates the light an the same when cloesein it switches the light off

 

[boatman]

an lights on

 

[boatman]

angle shots an the hangar deck is not fully down here as unkown to me there is a wire stopping it goin right home but it was soon remieaded

 

[boatman]

an the lights will be dimmed down a bit when i fit in the seaking choppers

 

[Fernando N]

Great stuff Chris

 

[boatman]

an ive fitted some strenghtening brass box seckions around the doors an a W/T DOOR which is on the plans

 

[boatman]

Great stuff Chris

cheers Fernando

 

[boatman]

an W/T door opens an close

 

[boatman]

HERE ive fitted on the hangar bay bottom all the eletroincs that work the hangar lights an a servo morph to work the main doors an if it makes the ship a bit to top heavy then the servo morph an the 9v voltage reducer will be fitted down in the hull as all this is made to just unplug an unscrew

 

[boatman]

well thats all the pics so far now next up ive got to build this as shown on the plans an its a obesevaion controll bubble that is there to give instructions to landing choppers in calm or rough seas

 

[boatman]

AN here ive drawin it in in red out line to show where on the ship its fitted an that on top of the hangar bay nr the flight deck
