bensid54 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share #186 Posted March 15, 2015 Drilling the disc spring pockets to a depth of .400" this depth allows the maximum amount of spring tension and travel available with the springs I'm using. The second picture shows the springs installed in a relaxed state. captainbob, mtaylor and kees de mol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensid54 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share #187 Posted March 15, 2015 Drilled and cut motor and Idler disc mounts, they are cut horizontal through the axis centre so that when I clamp the motors etc in place with two screws they will be held tightly in line. The second picture gives you an idea how they will look mounted on the motor board. captainbob, kees de mol, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bensid54 Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share #189 Posted March 16, 2015 Thank you Patrick I'm glad you appreciate my build! It has been a work in progress from day one when I had a grain of an idea on how I could make a smooth running oar powered RC ship, I have had a lot of back to the drawing board moments since that day.

Omega1234 Posted March 16, 2015 Share #190 Posted March 16, 2015 Hi Ben It's like they say...if you don't succeed the first time, try and try again. Your ship will be an achievement once in the water; at least then you can look back with satisfaction that the hard work was worth it.

bensid54 Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share #199 Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks Patrick, this thing took a lot of head scratching starting last August when I checked into RC rowing ships. I found the oar operation with the ships on You Tube were choppy or would only go in circles, that was something I wanted to get past and I think this is it. I still have a lot more head scratching to do because I have to remake the oar ports to be removable with the top part of oar rack and have them dip deep enough plus come out of the water just under level.
