I'm in on this hobby too! After Tyng Industries offered a half built artillery piece for a very reasonable price, I just couldn't refuse. So, now I'm the proud owner of a half built 25 pounder that needs rotate and elevate. I would like to get this ready for the next battle, so I'll be hurrying along.
In the last two days, I think I've figured out the elevate system. Basically, it's just a standard servo with an extension on the horn with a piece of wire running from the horn to the gun platform. The servo has plenty of movement to get to the 10 degrees maximum elevation, plus plenty of down angle. I've attached a photo showing the basic idea. If you guys think it will work, I'll replace the wire with a wooden pushrod system. Thanks, Caleb -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
