Hey Curt got my KGV and turrets today, when I get a chance tomorrow I will post pics of the hull and turrets.
GOOD NEWS!! MY KGV arrived today. I hadn't taken it out of the box but I will later and will get pics posted.
I finally opened the box. Morgan sent me 2 sets of plans for both versions of the class. The hull looks good and has the vertical belt incorporated into the hull. Morgan also sent me 2 pairs of Graupner motors, a regulator, speed adjuster, Pneumatic Valves and fittings, a 3.5oz bottle, and 2 VOL of Tamiya's RANDOM JAPANESE WARSHIP DETAILS..an excellent source for adding details to your ship. Wish I HAD this sooner but better late than never. KGV will be outfitted as a "Battleship" type KGV class.She is within the Full Load Displacement Range between 44,000 and 50,999,tons giving this ship 7.5 units. This ship would be allowed to carry 6.5 cannons and 1 unit pump/or can break it's 75 rd cannon down to a 50 unit cannon and a 1/2 unit pump ,24 sec speed. The ship can mount quad cannon in a side turret or a total of 4 firing cannons max in a sidequadrant but at least a single firing cannon must be left in the other side quadrant. This should make this class of ship more competitive. I can't wait to try it out.
I am not sure. I know you don't have all the info yet but I am open to suggestions on what to call this.
you should open an electric suggestions box, and then choose from there on out. I think it should be Canadian Operational Model Boats Attack Tactically - Xtreme. Thus, it will be COMBAT-X.
I hope that was a mistake Curt, and your not making reference to spelling error in another post. But, glad you like it
I give you full credit for the name BoomerBoy17.Ok time to get this documented. bb26 have you sent the disc yet? I tried the download but my computer didn't take it.
I like to keep the COMBAT-X name for this new style of RC combat. Credit to you for the name. bb26 I tried to dwnld the Excell spreadsheet but no go on my PC. Can you send me the disc?
Thanks Paul. The funnel cap grill work is coming along nicely. Not much more left than the paint details go on. Sooon buddy soon you will have it back.
BoomerBoy17 I can't wait to get it done and post it for viewing. I like the fact that an Alaska Class will be more formadible under this formula for it's size. The system works great. Just a matter of having ships set up and battling. This works for the "underated, underused, classes. Though no matter what some ships just by thier design are not good ships but at least it will improve the capabilities of those ships. IE Courageous, Furious and a few other ODD ships. They would be 5.5 units and of course can take their half unit and make it a 50 unit cannon and half unit pump. I would mount a dual sidemount port and dual sidemount stbd and a full 1 unit pump and a 1/2 unit pump. This should make them more competitive for fast gun battling.
I spoke to Ralph today and he is sending me the KGV MAIN and secondary Turrets. I may get his more accurate hull later sometime but I had a great chat abouthis projects.
