That how to on the super simple interrupter gun is absolutely money. http://rcnavalcombat.com/Forum/tabid/58/aff/546/aft/408547/afv/topic/Default.aspx It is labeled as a Fast Gun mounting. Has anyone tried to upsize it to shoot ¼”? If so what size fittings/tubeing did you go with? I am looking at these as possible builds to arm Lex’s Main and figure since I don’t have the fancy CNC skills, or tools, or for that fact clue how to run the software… I would go back to my paintball roots and just mount a bloody hopper to the back of each gun to feed them. Alternates were to use either a BC coil mag gun and just accept the reduction in caliber for simplicity. I could reuse them later on if I ever wanted to get super froggy and arm the secondary battery. Has anyone ever tried to use a flexible magazine tube? Something with enough slack to rotate around with the gun but still has that nifty bleed gas tube to assist in loading.
Work slowly moves along with Lex. The anchor capstans and chains as well as the brake stations are in place forward. Port forward SS, CIWS, SPY, MK44, and firehose/bottle combo. She's got her wheels back on, with the rudder built/installed. I have the inboards hooked up to motors, working on smoothing out the drive train.
Well, the day finally came where a boat I built not only got wet, but moved under her own power in a controllable fashion. Only a few shots since I was driving with one hand and taking photos with the other. It was a $200 setup just to get her moving. The two inboards running off a 5000mA battery with a servo running the Strike 3.0 rudder I slapped on her. The custom job just wasn't holding up. Her turn radus is about the same as a real battlecruiser. I will have to get this down, the rod I was using to tie in the servo was weak as all getout and bent left and right so my throws were only 40-50% what they should have been. In any case I have a cold one open and the smoking lamp will shortly be lit!
