The reciever should be ok. If you have problems, you can raise it in the ship for better reception. The motors may quiet down as you run them. You also can twist the motors a bit until they quiet down. Sometimes the alignment is a tiny bit out. Move them until you find the sweet spot.
ok and people told me about an antena but i dont wana screw up the little antenas on the receiver so if i do have a problem with reception what should i do becase i dont have enough wire to move the receiver up more
There are long 2.4 ghz antennas available, I fitted them to my HMS Rodney, the tips of them clear the superstructure with the receiver just below deck level.
kewl thank you ill keep that in mind if i have problems next few questions are what kind of batteries are recomended for the longest run time? and what should i use for planking my deck and were to find? ill probably gona have a few more questions along the line.
Hey its been a wile and in my time ive been building her and she is really coming along il be posting more picts of her befor and after paint andy way i need some help with the main turrets, my turrets are all going to be fake right now till i actually buy my cannon, well i run into an issue of how to keep the turrets on the pvc pipe, glueing would be best but i need an idea of somthing to let me take them off, any ideas? Thank you
On my Derf I obtained a bunch of PVC knockout caps (sometimes called test caps). I attached them to the bottom of the turret cover. They do an adequate job of holding the turret cover in place while being removable and repositionable.
thank you so much and note to everyone pictures of the bismarck will be posted up within the week for the before paint so people can critisize my creation to help me improve or remove things
i would love to post the pictures i took but it when i click insert photo it just freezes so here is my url to my photobucket check it out http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j360/gunsn_rosesx/

Cannons still need work and doing minor details and idk how im going to post more pictures due to my phone breaking and i forgot my camera at home and home is currently 350miles away These are my planes i purchased 2 1/144 jakes and im making them german, ill paint and decal them differently
Thank you, and Recomended spray paint brand i like tamiya but they dont got any german grey left were i am so any other brand sugestions?
haha the funnel cap was probably the 3rd hardest. the first was the cranes, second was the main mass kuz everytime i had to heat up an end the oposite end just got a little too hot and fell off so i was getting a little frustrated as for the bending it was alot easier than i thought for the super structure i thought it was going to be a pain but it went smooth and it was cheap the brass i used was if i am correct .032 x 1/4 and i used about 6-7 strips and they were a $1.09 each so it wasnt expencive. any questions ill be glad to answer if u wana see the tools i used ill take a picture and post it. as for the ship i gota drill holes for the small cannons and the crane, then i need to etch on the swasticas on the deck so i can paint them and put a clear coat on the deck, and do much more please keep tunned for more to come ps. i made an opening in the funnel so i can put a smoke machine in it (later on down the road)
Looks great. I see you are using the new foam rubber superstructure . I have mine currently on order with Strike. The Funnel cap looks great. Good work on teh cranes. YOu can get Arado floatplanes from Peter's Planes online but the Jap coversion works good too . I did the same with mine. Good work so far.
What are the rails made out of? The Funnel is that with the kit or your own creation? I spoke to Stephen of Stirke to inquire if there were any plans to make the radar suite for Bismarck and Tirpitz . He said that George may be making those for the class. I sure hope so and soon. There are many Bismarck's in the hobby. A nice BB proof Radar suite would go great . Can you get another pic of the platform supporting the crane? I NEED a good visual reference so that I can see how to make mine. Thanks
well im actually surprised that people like the ship haha anyway yea the cranes i kind of bs'ed my way through it with a few swear words and alot of frustration till i got it right, funnel is my own creation and im thankful im good in math and trig. as for the rails what exactly do u mean and ill try to take some picture with my computer webcam.
love lZ evol, She's a great ship! Have fun with her!!! But anyway, How long is she going to say a Normal RC and When are you doing to arm her??? NIkki
To Nikki: she will be armed in the summer as a show ship not for combat and in the summer im also considering buying the prinzEugen that seems like a perfect batteler for me fast not to big or small and seems like it can have a few cannons. and i cant wait to attend my first battle and that will be hopfully this spring/summer (i will not be batteling but i will be showing off my bismarck and also coming to take videos and pictures, i love editing videos so ill try to make some kewl vids) To Curt and everyone else here are some close up shots of my brass work: And Curt can you keep me updated with the bismarck stuff you were mentioning earlier in this thread that would be greatly appretiated Anymore questions please let me know.
