    when things suddenly goes west
    Ciao Stephen. Mi dispiace del corto circuito. Sperรฒ che tu non abbia subito grossi danni. Sono contento invece che non demordi. Visto che devi ricostruire il circuito a sei volt, per i led ti consiglio un'alimentazione autonoma. Se vuoi rimanere su un'alimentazione di 6 volt, prendila da un pacco batterie a se stante. Oppure, se non puoi inserire un altro pacco batterie, prendi la tensione prima di passare dai BEC (riduttori di tensione) che alimentano radar e ventola. Intendo, quindi, che dovrai fare un parallelo a monte del riduttore di tensione (dove hai sei volt) e non a valle. Non ti consiglio delle linguette di conduttore che vanno in contatto appena chiudi il coperchio. Puoi usare un semplice connettore, basta che i cavi siano abbastatnza lunghi da permetterti di sollevare il coperchio. Per evitare il riduttore di tensione, puoi alimentare i tre led come ti ho mostrato nel disegno allegato. Con sei volt di tensione, se metti una resistenza di 330 volt, puoi far circolare su ogni ramo circa 18 mA. Avrai una corrente totale di circa 54 mA, pertanto non avrai bisogno di grossi cavi. Sono solo consigli logicamente, procedi come preferisci tu. Hi Stephen. I'm sorry about the short circuit. I hope you didn't suffer any major damage. I'm glad you don't give up though. Since you have to rebuild the six volt circuit, I recommend an independent power supply for the LEDs. If you want to stay on a 6 volt supply, get it from a separate battery pack. Or, if you can't fit another battery pack, get the voltage before switching to the BECs (voltage reducers) that power the radar and fan. I mean, therefore, that you will have to make a parallel upstream of the voltage reducer (where you have six volts) and not downstream. I don't recommend conductor tabs that come into contact as soon as you close the lid. You can use a simple connector, as long as the cables are long enough to allow you to lift the lid. To avoid the voltage reducer, you can power the three LEDs as I showed you in the attached drawing. With six volts of voltage, if you put a resistor of 330 volts, you can circulate about 18 mA on each branch. You will have a total current of about 54 mA, so you won't need large cables. These are just tips of course, proceed as you prefer.

    You are lucky Bill. My Grandson is 20 and cannot muster enough motivation to come out of his bedroom. The only way he would make a boat is if they wrote a programme for Xbox.๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ‘น

    Spirit Based Paints
    You are quite right about the difficulty of finding oil based paints these days. In the past I had been able to get this from Wickes, Wilkos, Yorkshire Trading and others, but they have nearly all disappeared. However, after a little bit of research I discovered that Johnstones sell not only quick dry water based paints, but also oil based paint. I found that my local Yorkshire Trading sells this, as well as other brands of oil paint, and also B&M Homestores. Another name that does oil paint is Sandtex. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    ARTR Powerboats for a change?
    Hi Zooma thanks for your kind words. I am OK with the fitting out but I would think you are well ahead of me for competition. I did some formal MYA training with dinghy sailing but I did not enjoy the close racing with dinghies. I used to go sailing with a friend who had a posh yacht and I liked helming her but I realised I wanted to watch a yacht sail. So it was modelling for me. Our son takes me aboard his yacht, he is a Yachtmster and I have been impressed with his control of emergencies of which there have been two with me aboard. I have a Competent Crew from MYA but my knees can be dodgy! So a bit of rain and wind come as normal, I even enjoy them. Last year we were caught in an almost zero visibility storm, horizontal rain and screaming wind. He was calm and in charge and I did as I was told! We got back OK and I was completely wet, socks, underwear, the lot and I had the right gear on as well. But exciting stuff! Best Roy
