I measured the rudders on the plans for my Invincible. I came up with 1.5" by 2.5"! That's massive compared to the rudder area allowed for class 4 ships with twin rudders. And then I noticed the name George Goff up in the corner... Does anyone have some more reliable info on the rudder size for the Invincible class?
He's going to be battling local to me in the near future As far as I know, no one in MWC has substantiated bigger rudders. If it's possible, hooah
If NMM does not have the plans (which would surprise me) they might have builders specs which would give the actual dimensions.
The rules allow him 2.5 (x1.5 for dual rudders) = 3.75 sq in. Haven't seen any I-boats suffering for lack of turning ability. For what the plans from the NMM would cost, I'd just go with that (which is what the rest of the I-boats in the MWCI fleet (and probably the IRCWCC fleet) are running. Of course, once he finishes Nuke School and gets his bonus money, he could buy the NMM plans and get them scanned in for the rest of us to enjoy
If we get back our pay cut in March I may look at getting some. Better yet, if the rumored raise materializes, get several
If the I-Boat class would have had larger than our scale rudders, someone would have found the documents for it by now. It's a pretty popular ship. You be supprised by the size of book and plans collections some guys have.
Indeed James, just wait till I get the hard drive more sorted and burned to a DVD for your archival...
