Hi fellow P51ers lol
Imma still in, had 5 days working in Lundun town then came back to base and finally the 'rona got me......7 days of blurrrgggg!!!!!!! still only getting taste back a week later..... but things have arrived, and been fabricated.....
Arrivals, 2x SR920W 1.5v watch batteries....
Then the base, i decided i couldn't secreet the wiring and batteries in the Frog stand, so i got a wenge wood base, drilled through the top 3/4s through, then from the 'back' i piloted a hole inline with first vertical hole, then i progressively drilled out hole to 0.30mm larger than battery diameter. This will be the base and power source.
I've yet to workout the hows and whys of these batteries and wiring ..... but i know a watch repairer who may help lol.
Now to take the power tp the P51As drone motor, i chose 3.2mm copper tube, from a fridge evapourator system, as i work with all commercial Catering equipment these days many new things are to hand lol......
My plan, use copper tube for one polarity, thread insulated wire through for other polarity..... he he, it's going to be mounted half way into underside of port wing, running cabling into fuselage under cockpit if i build one then into nose and motor.
Now I'll paint it black when done, i could use copper tube as a battery contact in hole with wire to connect to oppo pole of battery/ies stack......
I will ponder
