Hi Guys,
There is not a lot I can say about this except bones,bones,and more bones.
I'm really glad I decided not to make a Kipper LOL!

Hi Guys
It's me again you're very own site nutcase!
Fins and tail fin complete with prop and prop shaft.
I have sandwiched some thin transparent plastic sheet in between the bones to aid water flow and so that the rudder would work.

Hi Guys,
I am very sorry to disappoint you guys after all this time, but due to MY design errors this will now be just another static dust collector.
The prop shaft is to flexible and the rudder pushrod is not strong enough and tends to bend so not strong enough do the job.
It's not worth me installing my last bits of rc equipment in it, it would just be a waste.
Sorry again.

Hi Guys,
I have been thinking about this and how to get over MY design problems.
Firstly the prop shaft.
To fit a stronger shaft I will have to make a completely new back end as trying to get it apart will end up with a lot of broken bits.
To fit a stronger rudder push rod I will have to somehow drill out the rod guides and the push rod will have to be joined as I do not have a long enough piece of rod.
Secondly :-
I have not got enough material left to remake it at the moment. Also with all of the experiments that I have done with displacement and counter balance would make it difficult to keep it afloat.
I would have to make a larger flotation tank and rebalance it.
So in short it will be a very big job to get this working properly.
After much though I have come up with two ideas:-
(A) I could fit a light in it and use it as a desk light.
(B) I could fit a lot of RGB LED's and control them with an Arduino PCB and have it light up and change colour as a static display.
I have not decided yet.
More thought required!

Where can I get some of these Med's you're taking?😂🤣
The meds are only on special prescription and are only prescribed to total idiots LOL!
So you don't qualify.
