G/M Rick m8 an yes she now starting to come alive im pleased to say as yesterday i made up another small cam switch working from a micro servo which will activate just the rear motors cooling fans in the stern section on one postion of the switch an then if i flick the switch again on my T/X then the other cooling fans in the front main bridge S/S will come into play to cool down the front radar motor an the 12v to 24 v steam unit which is also actived by a micro servo with a knock on swicth an this is all now fitted into the hull an today i will be wireing them up with tags on them telling me what these wires do an where they go an im havin fun
good to see you drop in Rick an all the other guys also an glad you are liking the build which is keeping my mojo up to carry on

Don't get me started about wiring, I have the M41, she is finished, model wise, but, that is still half way through a wiring job. Need to make repin some new connector plugs etc.

HI Jack im glad you are enjoying seeing her come to life as am i an i had it all planned out what i was goin to do on the wireing today but more frustrations have hit as yesterday with jens help i got quite few wires all connected up an was working on it for quite a few hrs but i think ive over done it as today my back injury is now playing up

so can hardly move as in quite a bit of pain an just took some pain killers hopeing they will ease it so i think im gonna have to have a rest day an see if it will ease off as last time i had this back pain it took 10 days to ease off an i dont want to have to wait that long to carry on Aaaaacccchhh always something stoppin me from workin on her might have a little go at tryin to solder some wires on the new plug system i made the other day but will see how it goes
but thanks for stoppin an havin a look see
ATB hope you are well
Chris
