    Same old question which raises the same response. Are you in front of the boat facing the bow or on the boat facing the bow.๐Ÿค”

    Hi Colin.
    It is so sad to hear of your continuing troubles. It is clear that you are coping very well under such pressure. I know a little of what you are going through and can only say hang in there as things will get a little better.

    The Final Countdown is the name of the film with the aircraft carrier. I think it is a really good film. Right up my street.

    There is another good film with Kirk Douglas, I think, who is the captain of an aircraft carrier of modern day transported back to 1941 and the attack on Pearl Harbor during a strange storm. I enjoyed this one also. I have it in DVD somewhere.
    I have 12.01 on region one DVD also.

    Ah. I see what you mean. The video does rotate because it appears that the boss didnโ€™t quite get the instruction to keep the phone upright whilst filming.
    I have attached my detail sheet JB. There are pauses in action as I try to find the correct switch etc for the different functions.
    One other problem I did have was operating the crane. The left to right is on the same lever as the throttle and I kept adjusting the e speed by accident. Not sure how to solve that one. Not sure how to rotate the photo.

    Hi Lew.
    I have seen your length addition which you pictured on this blog earlier. Quite a task.
    I have put a full wiring diagram in the blog in pdf format if that helps. You can find it about half way through.
    I found them and have added here.

    It looks like the video attacked to the post ok.
    I forgot to add another small problem. I have to alter the drive to the anchor as it slips too easily at present.๐Ÿ˜Š

    The first trial on the river took place today. I was reasonably pleased but there are a few alterations needed.
    The first is to add some ballast weights. They are required on the port side and at the bow. The batteries are quite heavy so I was not too surprised.
    The small boat on the stern also needs some weight. There was only a light breeze today but the small boat kept blowing off of the deck. I have just noticed that I have lost both of the oars during the test. I was happy with the way they turned out as well. Never mind. Teaches me a lesson. If they do not function, stick them down!!
    The rudders caused me some problems. The servo needs reversing but I did not know how at that moment. I will have to check the instructions. Yes, I did say that JB and Steve. Now, where are they?
    The Port light was flickering a bit but behaved itself once the boat was retrieved.
    I have a few corrections to make but I was generally very pleased with the results. The water jets were better than I expected but the monitor rise and fall needs a little improvement.
    I will perform the second trial once I have dealt with these issues, probably in 2027.
    The video of the trial might be found on this link, but if not, I will add in the Media Gallery later.

    I went for Midway as well due to the fact it was the only answer I knew that involved aircraft carriers on both sides.

    Hi Colin.
    It amazes me that you still have room for new models.
    I am so sorry to hear of all of your recent woes. I hope your wife recovers very soon and that all of the other terrible things that have happened around you are now as settled as they can be and that you can resume the best possible future life as soon as possible.
    Peter.

    Hi Bill.
    So sorry to hear your news. I can only hope, along with you, that they have it wrong.
    Your humour will be greatly missed on the site and when you feel better, slip in a joke or two. Make sure you put them in the wrong thread though because I really enjoy the whinging afterwards.
    Best wishes Bill.
    Pete.

    Thanks Doug but I must confess, it has been down to sheer luck with finger stabs. I think that every question should have Titanic, Lusitania and Bismark as three of the options.๐Ÿ˜ฌ
