    I think that will be the Bismark's cat when she gets dunked in the water when the boat sinks

    That's horrible looking! I mean, the PLAID IS HORRENDOUS! The SoDak looks great, though 8) Makes me want one.

    I like the stern gun mount, too... I may have to borrow your idea when I mount the dual sterns on the Aussie if that's okay :)

    All three of the stern cannons have different down angles. Just to make things a bit more interesting

    At least I will have a boat on the water. The Bismark is too scared to come out because she may get shot at and sunk. Axis fleet is big talk little action :)

    This is a new class of ship...it's the 'PLAID' Class. Paul check the small gear and find out for me if it is 14, or 12 tooth. Need to know before I send out the mount and gears.

    I have installed the one set of gears that I have. There may be an issue of where the guns and the gears are located. Once I get the other set of gears from Curt i should have a better idea. What it may mean is that the triple will be angled in a slight bit to concentrate on one spot.

    Paul the small gear how many teeth are on it? I need to know so that I can send you the correct small pinion gear.

    The gears are the 14t pinions. The both that I sent over were the same as I ordered. They have the 14t pinion.

    Paul for Sodak your going to need 12 pinion or lower. battler's only go as low as 12. I'll check for spares and send them over. Ie I ran Roma with 12 pinion and she was too fast. I had to reduce the blade number and size of the prop. Roma weighs approx the same as Sodak. With Drag props you should get down to 26 sec spd

    Let me check once again on the gears. The set that I sent over was their standard set of gears. It should be the same as what I have here. according to battlers website the standard pinion is 14t.

    If so if I got the 12 tooth handy I will send them. I can get more later for Tennessee.
