Title: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:40:36 AM Good morning all friends...all you know, i am not interested to make any craft from any kits...so i always navigate through my way...imagination...and i starts from "0"...but from some inspiration from all...this is my full fillment of a fire and crash tender craft, inspired by the real RAF craft...
Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:41:09 AM as usual, i started from thermocol...after making a sketch, in to 1:35th scale, i started to make it....
first of all i made a block of thermocol as usual..in to my size...2 feet long,8 inches wide... Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:41:46 AM after basic finish, i finished it with car body putty....that you see here...
then whole super structure is made from drawing paper.... Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:42:41 AM my craft is powered by a reworked toy motor,was a simple toy motor, in to 3 volts, and i reworked for 6 volts...after fixing a bush at rear cover,adding some fins by aluminium sheets, finally a turbine from same alum sheet....
Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:43:32 AM the speed controller is based on TIP 3055, and full function was controlled by a toy radio system, in to 35.456 MHz....i used the turbo function of Rx 2 to activate the fire pump...
Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:44:16 AM this craft is equiped with a bow thrust pump,along with conventional rudder,to get an easy control over turnings...the thrust pump was driven by an other reworked toy motor...driving via a big gear...scraped from an old radio...
Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:45:10 AM the water pump was operated by the turbo, and it was controlled by a relay....the pump was a 12 volt wind shield washer from a car, but i reworked its winding in to 6 volts...1 amps...
Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:46:01 AM the rudder was controlled by a scraped toy gear box,with Rx 2 B....
the cetrifugal thrust pump was made out of foam board... prop is made from an aluminium sheet, from a pot lid...shaft is a cycle spoke, and outer shaft is a ball point pen body... i finished it in signal red paint, by adding lots of talcum powder in it..... Title: Re: its my mighty fire and crash tender... Post by: rathikrishna on January 28, 2011, 11:46:54 AM stickers are made from Photoshop, and printed in a high quality printer on a A4 paper...
then cuts outed to craft...with glue.... then it started its service....now almost daily it gets a drive in my pool, or river... the toy Transmiter was reworked to a high standard, to work with without fail, for long distances...i added an antenna in to 1.5 meters... with 2N 2219 transistors, in to 12 volts 1 amps...
