Hawk~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi Guy's, Thanks for birthday wishes. I will try to upload pic's. of what I have been doing. We won the big 250 Superkart race at Laguna Seca for single cylinder class. That's 2 wins in a row. It is the biggest race in the states. I have been building some sailing ship models. The pic's. are of a Brig class 18 gun ship from 1800's. It is 6 ft. long. I have not played online, and only have played Crysis lately. I'll have to dig up my teamspeak equipment and see if I can get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zathrus~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Wow that is a beautiful ship. Is it a remote control? The control mechanisms would be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk~SPARTA~ Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 (edited) The ship is sail powered, with raidio control of sails and rudder. Being a square rigger, it is hard to tack. It has a servo for jibs, fore and aft mast, rr sail, and rudder. pic #123 is servos, #145 shows lines to main yards which on each mast are connected to all upper sail yards on that mast. #175 shows amount of travel the yards can turn ,about 50 degrees.
