Thanks Roy. I will take a couple of clips apart and see if I can match the words and music.

Hi Garth, it is worth looking at all the plug in ready to go electronics there are out there now.
You can stretch the servo movement slow it down or even delay it. You can mix twin esc's in several ways.
You can have a single Tx. channel feeding a mixer to a 2 channel o/p to twin esc's. The rudder control does the mixing.

I use slow down units and a servo extender for standard size but high powered servos that I use as sail 170 degree arm winches. Cheaper as well, than dedicated sail arm units.

I also use rotating sail winches where the string all stays inside the unit so no need to have a pulley and a line. You can choose how many rotations you need.

There are plug in dual relays for operating high current electrical switching. I am sure there are ones I have missed out as well.

It is all a big toy shop out there now!

I care and today I stopped by my dollar store that aren't dollar stores & looked for them clips I'll get some tomorrow and try them

Hi Marti in Falmouth. If you look at my original 'how to' post I have included a photo of the modified clip. It takes less than 15 seconds to do.
Roy

Anyon else have trouble with my modified bulldog clips? Or care?

Roy

Looking at how it works if the bulkheads are just 3mm wide surely it will split open the bulkhead by the time you are halfway.

I'm sorry I didn't explain the clamp I got for planking strips on the hull frame & I have been building models for 55 years & didn't know this was available live & learn please see photo .

RoyCV - Guess I am a bit muzzy this morning, but I can't understand what you are describing. Your photograph shows 6 unmodified clips, right?

Thanks for all the info & that helped me get to Amazon tool ( Micro-Mark 10-Piece Planking Clamp Set ) a little pricey but it's better than using my teeth to get the crazy glue off my fingers . I could order them another way But Canada Post is on Strike & I wouldn't get them until next year P/S Santa will be happy no letters to Santa from the kids.

Model shipways makes these wild and interesting contraptions…https://www.walmart.com/ip/Model-Shipways-Hull-Planking-Clamp-Set-of-6-Less-Than-3-16/967837004?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=16284&adid=22222222228967837004_16284_14069003552_202077872&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=42423897272&wl4=pla-319455734609&wl5=9003436&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=137704336&wl11=online&wl12=967837004_16284&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIoVeVe4-edheM4WRlbpFvtJ0&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxuHa0ND8iQMVw0H_AR0k_AUAEAQYAyABEgI6BvD_BwE

Definitely check the micro mark website. They had a pin/clamp set up where the pin went into the former and not the plank if memory serves.

Hi I have not got a photo of the finished item, but see if I can describe how to make a quite effective one from a bulldog clip. As per picture.
You will need several as the wire parts are also donor items.

Dismantle one and keep the 2 wire pinch pieces. Take one of the pinch pieces and insert it into the upper part of the inside of the black spring part.
It will then project out so that when you open up the complete bulldog clip and clamp it on to a bulkhead there is the top of the wire sticking out at right angles. The old part which was a hinge will now hold it in place.
This will hold down a plank while the bulldog clip is clamped to the bulkhead.

I bought a pack of 20 each about 2cm wide and they make up 13 of these clamps. But any of the type in the picture will do.
Hope this helps.
Roy
