    Fixed....

    What does this have to do with the planes?
    Rudder servo with gears or chain sprockets going to gun turret that rotates. It can be done, we have it here in some formats. I don't know of a how to website but check out the Iron duke build for a picture of a rotate turret.

    I assume "planes" was supposed to be "plans." I know TaubmansOnline.com sells Arizona plans. There are probably other sources as well given the ship's historic significance.

    Navsource has pictures of Arizona operating Kingfishers in September of 1941.

    I almost owned a 71. I love the corvette style tailights. My bis would look nice next to the GS. It is really close, I just don't want to loose focus before Nats and receive "butticus beaticus"! :eek:

    Had the '71 Chevelle with the 327...
    Had more fun and a lot more power with my '74 Charger SE with the 400 under the hood.
    Never did fimd out how fast she would go!
    I was pulled over for doing 110 mph, and was let go with a verbal warning......
    Gee, I miss that car!

    My one friend had the 74 charger in high school. That was a nice car. Mine has the 72 455 4bolt main with two holley 450's on a offenhouser lowrise. 4 speed and 355 gears round out the package. I am having a blast
    with it this year but need to get to the body work soon.

    And yet you checked in! The OP has not been on lately and he didn't spell plans correctly. I figured since I own a Arizona and kingfishers, I would just run with it.:rolleyes:

    And now back to our regularly scheduled topic

    We were never quite sure what the original poster was asking about, but I don't think it was a 74 Charger.
