Alan's Boatyard - 'Far Saltire' Model
Housing with Drive
 
Housing showing the Unit rotation servo with belt drive.
The small micro switch behind the belt will connect to a sound unit
that will indicate that the nozzle is in correct alignment to be raised into the hull.
The micro switch at the end of the tray, switches power from the ESC
that also powers the Bow Tunnel Thruster to the swing down propeller motor
when the unit has fully dropped, by working this way one control from the transmitter operates both units
and I also save one ESC installation.
When the swing down is deployed it can rotate 180 degrees in each direction
so can do the same job as the tunnel thruster.
The servo is a yacht winch type which has a greater turning circle than conventional servos (360 degree).
