an this is only a balsa sided gearbox just to see if it is goin the right speed 
an it is so I built a better one with hard wood
-
-
an in the end I used two of the same gears on the mast topComment
-
a rough bit of balsa to test if the shaft speed is right an it was ok so I could press onComment
-
an as the main search radar is set well forward so it misses the rear mast I had to use these gearsComment
-
an on the plans its set up an inch higher an I also had to use a bit of modelers
licence as had to build a gearbox to cover up the gearingComment
-
an on the very top it still needed two gear in a gearbox to make the radar go round the right wayComment
-
an here it is an it goes mainly ok but on one gear has a high point an jumps slightly but im hopin it will bed in when its been goin round a few thound timesComment

That looks incredibly complex Chris. Nice work on the Radar array workings.

well im ive done most of the work on that top radar so its down now to the halfway mark to fit on the navigation radar which is a bit smaller but first ive got to find an fit the right gears from those belowComment
-
the mountin for said radar has to to go off the mast at a 45 degree angle so ive had to cut through one of the main spars for the r- shaft to fit to the yellow crown gear that goin to power it an it will all just unscew an lift offComment
-
top view lookin down on it an you may notice ive take both bridges off to stop them getting damadged while im building thisComment
-
