Thanks Michael,
I didnโt intend to be absent for so long. Life just got in the way. Canโt quite believe itโs been 8 months since my previous post on this blog! While Iโve been absent Iโve had in my mind that I needed to add one more post about the new โelectronic โ mechanism. So now Iโve finally done it. We all have different skills and abilities, which is what makes this site so interesting. I always admire your problem solving and the use of jigs. Now when I have a mechanical problem I think โ is there a jig that would help me do thisโ ▲

Great stuff Graham I'm glad to see you back. It seems a lot of the old crew have not been very active lately, I'm not sure if that's a permanent situation, I hope not.
Anyway back to your latest creation, as you will remember I'm more the mechanical solution type and I really admire your electronic ability, I'm afraid as soon as the wires enter the circuit board I'm lost. ▲

Not only the low profile Graham, but probably the enclosed convex deck lets the wind zip right over without anything to 'grab hold of' and exert any force. Nicely done๐๐๐

Hi Doug,
She is quite quick on the water, and surprisingly unaffected by the wind. Bill and Ben in the dinghy just get blown around if there is any wind, but Katie is fine. Probably down to the low profile hull not catching the wind. The paddle blade penetration can be adjusted using a spare channel on the Tx so I can set it for best result. Once adjusted, I can then store the setting permanently with a command from the Tx. Several other parameters can be adjusted in a similar way, for example the port/stbd balance of the paddle and the rudder compensation to offset the alternating paddle thrust. ▲

Hi Peter,
A longer paddle might be necessary but I think a spacer might weaken the shaft too much. As itโs only a trial paddle, Iโll just make a longer one if I decide to go that way. Meanwhile Iโm working on software changes to tilt the paddle more on each side when paddling in a straight line. The blades go into the water deeply enough when turning. Graham93 ▲

That was quick Graham. The result of the improvements is clear to see. Would a slightly longer paddle make any difference. Could you try another brass spacer in the middle. It looks to me that as Katieโs arms do not lift at each stroke like we would, to dig the blade into the water, perhaps a slightly longer paddle might compensate.๐

Hi Graham, an absolutely brilliant concept from day one, to see this all come together into one very realistic-looking working Kayak is quite incredible. A masterclass of engineering and electronic skills and an awful lot of patience to put it all together and give it the realism this project deserves. It really is quite something to behold. I think the words, "And Now for Something Completely Different", describes your latest project very nicely. Well done you, that is going to be a difficult act to follow, but I am sure you will think of something??????????????? Regards, Gary. (Can't wait to see the Kayak on the water.)

Hi Graham, I have followed your very interesting build from day 1 with curiosity and apprehension, and love the "and now for something completely different approach," and all of the somewhat complex problems that you have solved in the process of this build. May I suggest that you provide your intrepid kayaker, with a waterproof map of the waterways slipped under the two straps on the hatch? So as he knows where he is going and doesn't row off into the wide blue yonder. Can't wait to see a video of the kayak in action on the water. Regards, Gary.

Hi Dave,
If ever the aerial is below the waterline I think Iโll have a lot more to worry about than loss of signal. โน๏ธ With the kayak upright, both aerials are above the waterline. I admit they are not a long way above the water, but I donโt expect to be paddling at any significant distance from the shore so I expect the signal will be OK. Graham93 ▲

Thanks Dave,
When I was first mulling over the idea of building the kayak, I had the idea that it would be great if I could make it do an โEskimo rollโ! I thought about how to do it for several weeks before finally giving up on the idea. Kayakers use the paddle as a โleverโ pushing against the water to right the kayak when inverted. The required changes in paddle position and movement are just too complex for me to engineer - I think! The other concern was the need to seal all the electronics/servos to cope with being inverted. From the trial in the domestic test tank, very little of the kayak is submerged. With itโs light weight and a length of almost 1m it doesnโt have much displacement. There are photos of the radio/servo/battery installation in an earlier post (before I fitted the deck) Graham93 ▲

Hi Graham
Don't the full size kayakers have a procedure for righting a boat. Should be fairly simple for you to program a Pic to take over control and complete the procedure in the event of a capsize. As your model will be largely submerged I am interested to see what radio you will install. Very impressive so far dave976 ▲
