Hi Jim. Thanks for the compliments. I'm getting ready to do the power thing
for the dive planes, and want to check out using electric before I commit to air
or hydraulic. I have a grainger's book, and there are lots of motors that would
work, but ya, I'd have to build enclosures. I'll probably stay with hydraulics,
but want to research this possibility first. Moving the dive planes with an
electric toggle switch would make it more responsive to descend/ascend via the
planes, but suck up a lot of electrical power.
If I use a small hydraulic pump, the inside controls would be
basically the same as electric, but I was really planning on using a hand
pump, where quick changes in dive plane position wouldn't be possible, but
uses no battery power. Still looking for the right compromise of power usage and
performance. I have limited space for batteries, and am trying to maximize the
10 battery "bank" so I don't waste it on unnecessary tasks. Anybody out there
got a small nuke plant they're not using ? Frank D. Need a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos. |
