Yup, you answered my queries thank you Chris. Just curious, as I had a job at Sunseekers watching huge Tupperware motor yachts being built. So trying to sort out the differences. Quite ingenious - paint first then layer after layer of F/G. Mind you some of the tolerances would never have stood muster in the aviation business!!!!
HI Doug im glad ive answered your questions ok as some on other forums dont i think as if a person asked a question i think its only polite to reply with an answer
Many thanks Bri an yes i am an i will be if i can get this eletric prob lickedHi Chris, although I haven't been a member for long and thus unable to follow the full build I can see by the finished ship the amount of hard and dedicated work put in to it, you should be proud mate
I'm a firm believer in if I don't ask I'll never know and assumption as we know is the mother of all **** ups!!!
YES Scottie hope you are right as ive got an idea brewin in my mind to put things right on the eletrics but will have to wait till nxt week before i can try it out an thank you for the good luck on the repairs but its now all repairded just now waiting fot the motor mount glue to go hard
YES Doug if you asume to much it will be what you have said LOL an this at the moment has happened to me as i assumed that diferent ESC would be ok but it wasnt an yes it was a big **** up an if that motor had hit me in the face i would have now been in A/E SO thats the reason im goin to strip out that other 30 amp eletronise ESC identical to the one in tiger already an two the same an i know they are good units as they work ok mind you the ESC in norfolk hasnt been powered up since last september so im hopein fot the best but not assumein lol an cheers for that chopper pilots veiw that great an yes tiger has a controll bubble for landin choppers on the flight deck an i have forgot to fit the window wipers i think it was Scottie who pointed this out so still abit to keep my ocuppied
The control bubble is for FlyCo, to visually control the deck. (Not the flying). The Pilots will be following the GPI to a position left of the flight deck. The horizontal line on the deck is called the 'Bum Line'. The pilot endeavours to have his bum over the line when moving right over the deck to land. That's his visual reference for landing.
The ship is Ejnar Mikkelsen of the DANISH Royal Navy. The Lynx is also Danish! Just saying!
Wow,that landing took some skill Doug. I watched the next video, showed a slightly easier landing .Still impressive stuff. Thanks for posting .
WOW Doug would not want to be in them choppers tryin to land on that small dutch frigate wow they did well to land it an again wow when the yanks just pushed all them millions of dollars worth of choppers over the edge of that carrier what a waste BUT MANY THANKS for puttin on the vid
that just what i thought John really skill full flyin WOW
Both the Lynx and the Wasp had one advantage only in they had what we called 'negative pitch'. That is when they eventually landed on deck they pushed the collective (That's the left lever looking flying control that makes it go up/down!!) lever down. What that did was 'push' the helicopter on the deck ensuring it stayed on deck. Even when listing quite severely!! The Lynx also has the addition of a harpoon style system to grab the deck. You can see it engage on the end of the video!
Hi Chris, the US pushed their choppers over the side to make room for the ships own aircraft and the increase in people on the warship I believe.
