HYDRO PLANER.....




Friends..and colleagues..it was my long dream to make a life boat after seeing the Tamar Life Boat..and now i realized this craft..but sad, because i took about 12 days, instead of 6 or 7..wasn't lazy..but busy with my work..
as usual i started with thermocol..

HYDRO PLANER.....



she is powered by a reworked motor, to 6 volts 700 mA, and backed up by a 6 channel professional radio..i used a 3.5 kg STD servo for the rudder, as the rudder plate is too big..

fig 3 showing the hand made prop, and shroud (Kort Nozzle), this saves battery a lots..with rudder panel..

i added some yellow kum kum powder to paint to get real industrial yellow color, and slurry texture..
whole decals were made with Photoshop, Illustrator and Coreldraw, and printed in A4 paper in a high quality printer..cutting it..is a painstaking process..

for more realism, i added all wind shield wipers, working..
by altering two micro servos electronically and mechanically, for continuous rotation, either clock or counter clock, direction, to actuate the wipers, is connected with 5th and 6th channels of the radio, so i can alter the speed from 0 to full, or in any desired speed, by turning the given knobs on TX..

Not trying to pick any holes here, just sharing something that my Dad (a Naval Officer) taught me when I was building my first boat 25 years ago..

The only thing missing are the mandatory Red and Green Navigation Lights.

Roopesh, since you have gone to this extent of detailing to make this boat a real beauty, I am sure you can add this in a jiffy.

Roopesh, it seems like the LED lights are already there (pic LFB-1.jpg, LFB-2.jpg)! Pl ignore my earlier post. I was wondering how a Master Modeller like you missed out on that detail. I was wrong. My mistake, I jumped the gun!

in the hands of Gokul,my ever favorite ship and aero model student, a Naval NCC Cadet, winner of the special gold medal, for ship modeling, showing the sheer size of the craft..she is 3 feet long, proportional wide, but weighs very little..thanks for the thermocol and foam board along with paper..powered by a simple 6 volts, 2500 mA battery pack, she runs about 2 hours in a single charge..

actually my first intention was to power her by my Futaba FASST..but afraid of moisture..i was  unwilling to test fortune with expensive machines..so i tried with Hobby king 6 channel radio..woow..its a nice machine, value for money, indeed, and solid base of 2.4 GHz, and gave me a best range even in water.. Hats Off
Friends..now all you can see how simple to make a craft..i hope i could inspire many of you, as all you inspires me..happy..follows... Thumbs Up
