US Coast Guard 44 'lifeboat 838mm

Čtyřiačtyřicetistopový lifeboat US Coast Guard US Coast Guard (USCG) comes from a series of 21 nepřevrhnutelných boats built shipyard USCG Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland in 1963. A boat driven by two diesel engines of 180 HP and give it a top speed of 15 knots. Normal crew has three members, the boat is equipped with radar, sonar and communications radios, guaranteeing the possibility of up to 100 miles.

Designers rescue boat in Rozsyp in scale 1: 16 for driving two electric range 500-600 for advanced builders. Thanks to the high almost ready to most parts of the building is not particularly demanding on the skill and workshop equipment - but, of course, careful and patient work in the shipbuilding necessary to achieve a good result. For bonding you need medium and thick glue, "acetone" modeling glue and epoxy. The actual construction is carried out by the drawing at actual size, according to the perspective drawing showing in detail the structure of the ship for the selected key steps (such as Framing) used construction preparations předseknutých plywood parts. Making accessories such as railings facilitate preprinted templates in 1: 1st

The fuselage is made (as in a real boat) bone, which forms the backbone keel with attached ribs - all the parts can be found předseknuté on plywood boards, as well as a build products guarantees correct assembly of the skeleton. Hull shell is composed of balsa rails - using softwood facilitates bending and shaping planks (without soaking) and their subsequent grinding. To achieve more complex shapes, but of course you have to dig after soaking (in diluted ammonia water 1: 1 cold or hot water with liquid fabric softener means) - but thanks to the sophisticated design of the ship rarely. The deck and superstructure are made of plywood předseknutých parts. < / P>

Scale Accessories range are formed parts of wire, cast in white metal and wood. If you have enough flavor and perseverance, you can further improve the model eg. Adding equipment wheelhouse, functional lighting, boat certainly benefit from the installation of at least one paramedic in oilskins etc. It's up to you how you put on your work depends ...

Propulsion motors used two rows of 500 or 600 (not included in the kit) fed from one or two such trams NiMH or NiCd batteries (suitable eg. Šestičlánky for RC cars 1:10). Boat shaft sleeves and the clutch must also be purchased - are also suitable domestic compact direct clutch shaft and a flange for mounting the motor. Dumas for this model adds a special set of # 2335 (comprising 2 shafts with bushes and mounts, cardan. Couplings, 2 rudders with metal rods and levers, 2 dummy three-blade bronze propellers, a set of gears). To use maketových propellers (1.75 "- 44 mm), use a low speed motors or conventional" five hundred "supplement gearbox 1: 2 (eg. Graupner Multispeed # 1114.20). To maximize engine performance and long cruises when using a large capacity battery is recommended to supplement the engine cooling water.

To control the ship will suffice, at least any two-channel radio system, one or two bi-directional electronic speed controllers least 30A (depending on engine) and one standard servo for rudder. If you use two controllers, you can certainly increase the maneuverability of the ship through independent control of the speed of both engines (manually or via the rudder-mix engines, if you have a multi-channel computer radio system).

Kit contains: předseknuté parts plywood, balsa wood planks to the shell plating, and lime beams, cast metal parts and other accessories Scale, construction plan containing three-view drawing of the ship and perspective views of the various steps of the building, the building instruction. < / P>
