I tried to operate it but forgot how so now I'll have to get that figured out, next time I'll write down how I work this thing. Anyway this is the end of the road as far as building goes but maintenance and sea trials will be next. Thanks to all that commented and gave input, next on the burner will be Charon the boat man of the river Styx!

bensid54 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share #466 Posted May 22, 2016 First sailing after completion, a major amount of adjustments needs to be made to the radio such as channel assignment and servo travel. I also need to change the rudder system, so Charon will be put on hold until I get this one perfected. It is at least water tight and the only water that came in was from oar splashing.

Omega1234 Posted May 23, 2016 Share #471 Posted May 23, 2016 Hi Willie Love it! Apart from the minor technical issues, (of which only you would know about, because you're the operator), the only way that your video could be any better would be to sail her in a more natural setting. Perhaps a lake, or the river, where the colour of the water isn't so clear. That'd be far more realistic. But, that's nitpicking, of course. Damn marvellous job you've done!

captainbob Posted May 23, 2016 Share #472 Posted May 23, 2016 You have a speed boat of a bireme. I doubt the rowers ever moved that fast.

bensid54 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share #473 Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for the input Guys! Bob you are right about the speed that can be part of the tweaking I'm going to have to do some rewiring and change the rudders to be more effective so not just radio work to be done. Patrick I bought a fishing rod to retrieve the boat in a more natural setting once I get it stuck on my maiden sea voyage! It's been fun but will be much more fun once I get the bugs worked out. Walter thanks for the compliment this thing has been about a year and a half of dedication so it is almost at the place I want it.

bensid54 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share #474 Posted May 25, 2016 This is much better, I had to change the model configuration from airplane mode to helicopter mode H3 which means three servos work in unison on the swash plate. Two of the swash plate channels are being used for the two speed controls on the pitch cycle which inputs each speed control equally on the pitch function. They are influenced to work opposite to each other when you use the elevator/aileron stick which raises one side and lowers the other or speeds one side up over the other. This function will allow the oars to move or go faster on one side or the other seafarermiami, RichardG, Tadeusz43 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
