Surely 'Bob' warrants a crash helmet. And a voice module that calls 'lee-oh' when he ducks.

Ha, good memories Phil, I read the Beano for many years when I was younger!
I preferred it to the Dandy, although I actually liked them both ๐ Both were great rival comics at the same time and when I was lucky I was able to read them both. Bob. ▲

Hi Bob, in case you thought otherwise, the tiller moves the arm, the arm doesn't move the tiller.

That looks really good JB,
If I can find a suitable sized figure to fit the Aerokits Sea Urchin it will inspire me to built an unstarted kit whose box has been hiding under my work bench for years! One of the things that has put me off building this kit as been the need to work-out a method of operating the tiller arm without showing a servo anywhere. Many thanks, Bob. ▲

Re Sea Urchin, no problem Bob if you can find a scale figure to suit the boat. You just have to replace the arm/shoulder joint on the tiller arm with a very light spring or string as I have (assuming he doesn't have to duck) and the hand is fitted to a flexible joint on the tiller or tiller extension. I've done the same thing to my catamaran skipper, where the guy has a piece of plastic tube glued to his hand, which the tiller extension can slide in at max arm movement.

Hi JB,
Good to see Bob survived surgery and is able to duck under the boom. Fantastic work. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

These video's of Bob were absolutely brilliant.
I will have to show them to the yacht lads down at the York Model Boat Club ๐๐ I feel sorry for poor old Bob, but he looks like he is enjoying his sailing now that he has recovered from his operation ๐๐. ▲

That is brilliant - if it were possible to make a smaller (slightly less complicated) figure to control the tiller arm on the Aerokits Sea Urchin, it would stop a lot of head scratching for builders of this very popular little model .

Probably had it for that long Ed, Swedish Sievert, - cheaper than gas to run, heats the workshop as well ! Still works perfectly. I like the fact that it sounds like a pulse jet

Hi Phil, thanks, seems to be taking forever,- too cold and wet outside lately to do much else though. A lot of experimenting with things on the fly, having no plan, ( 2 steps forward one back lol.)

Hi JB,
That's some nice progress, pity about the paint. Your rudder looks very nice. I can imagine getting the lines to run right would be a challenge. Cheers, Stephen. ▲

Hi JB,
Adding the camber has made a big difference in my opinion, well worth the effort. Cheers, Stephen. ▲
