High Lift Rudders (2). |
| Electrics: |
2 Electric main motors, Electronic speed
controller's for motors & thruster's. |
| Notes: |
Originally I had intended using
Electronize speed controls, which I have always used with no problems, but due
to a restriction of space, I am going to use fully Electronic speed controls
which are a lot smaller.
Working Bow and Stern Tunnel Thruster's,
working Bow Azimuthing Thruster.
As I am now able to produce metal
items on a lathe and mill, I intend to have all three thrusters and the high
lift rudders working. |
