An the crane will swiffel to left an right over the ships side but not up or down as if it does it may drop down onto the deck motor launches of which there will be 3 or more an cause damage as this crane jib is made from brass an is fairly heavy

[boatman]

An here the finished crane in its folded an stowed postion all ready to go to pond when she does eventually go but still a lot to be fitted on yet

[boatman]

HI Garry cheers on that an yes im pleased to say that the crane is finished as its been a lot of very enjoyable work an i wish like Rick ( mini me ) said it would be nice to have it workin but to have it workin there would be to many functions an exspesive units like three servos an an one motorgearbox an exspensive ESC AN not to mention that it would take up 3 channells on the T/X so not really worth it AN you are lucky as there is no crane on I/D hows it comin on ?

Wow. That crane is really amazing, Chris.
About where the Sea King is going to be placed, I suppose there will be a pontoon, a smaller unit (a frigate?) with a landing deck or any other "low enough flattish floaty thing" (sorry for this too much technical term :smiling4: ) coming from somewhere and apt to receive the dripping chopper.
