THEMA:

Hi Heizer, here are pictures of the missile doors. It is made out of Miliput epoxy putty www.themodelcatalogue.com/acatalog/Milliput_Putty.html

Thats alles, das ich auf der Flugkörper Tür. Dieses Unterseeboot wird jetzt verkauft, aber ich werde auf einem neuen Engel Taifun mit proportioal Drosselsteuerung und mehr Verbesserungen bald beginnen. Ich bilde auch die Zugang Luke grösser. Ich habe Abbildungen meiner Kamera, die eingestellt wird,/eingestellt wird herauf außerdem das Sonar, wenn du interessiertest.

Thats all I have on the missile door. This submarine is now sold, but I am going to start on a new Engel Typhoon soon with proportioal ballast control and more improvements. I will also make the access hatch bigger. I have pictures of my camera set / sonar set up as well if you interested.

Thanks Ramesh for the pictures of the doors.
In good weather dipping we tomorrow with two Typhoons, makes then pictures. . . . . Heizer

hi ramesh,
do you want to make them functionally (open/close by servo)? if yes, please tell us some details of the mechanism.
i´ve read an article by mat spade of working missiles (charged with propel) in an ohio-sub on the subcommitee website. do you want to build such system too?

regards
heiko

Hi Heiko,
The Typhoon in the picture was sold before completion. I am now waiting for delivery on a new Master Scale Typhoon with the proportional diving system from the Type VIIc Uboat. My new Typhoon will have opening hatches as well but I will make them more realistic. Yes they will be operated by mini servos in a rubber ballon/bag to water proof them. There will be a small opening in the rubber bag for the push rod cable to exit which I will seal with silicon (this is the easist way to water proof servos!). I will use a flexible cable as the push rod. 1 servo for each hatch. I will use a 'servo delay device like www.simprop.de/Seiten/Modellbau/0110809ServoModule.htm to make the hatches open slow.
Yes I am going to be making working missiles . Yes I have read the Matt Spade article. I was thinking about the water rocket principle www.ast.leeds.ac.uk/~knapp/rockets/ or even hydrogen power (can be launched using electrical circuit so much easier to install) www.pointshop.com/Mall/Catalog/Product/A...e-id/1000020731.html
