allright guys got idea for working search light that are on the wings.It uses a micro sevro,pulleys,and thread.Using 3/32'' tube to guide the thread from the sevro to a pulley connected to the search light.

looks like a good idea. you may want to put a loop or "wrap" around the pulleys for more "grab"  you shouldn't have to worry about thread tension that way. greg

thanks alot,I was thinking of just c.a.ing it to the pulley but I may do it that way,thanks!

its done!!!


I know everybody right now is :shock: or :roll: and :lol: and by done I mean its been at sea or river or creek ya creek hehe,I found out using the rutters as power it can move at a good clip up stream,but going down well lits not go there.Good news is no leaks!oh and Eddy thank you for editing that for me hope that helps.

Remember that the old paddlers would go with the current downstream and to turn in the curves they would backup and let the current swing their bow out from the shore.

all right guys I got some picks of my creole queen.But I have renamed her the monster queen! that would be a lrp z.28 nitro motor turning 33,000 rpm and 3 1/2 hp. in her,tell me what you all think.

And you think WE have a strange sense of humour when we're in the chat room Travis! :-)

It would be good though, a 200 foot rooster tail!

:lol: but its not humor,Im for real! :roll: j/k
