Hi everybody, I just wanted to announce I finally returned the free site's management system to online status. I want to appolgize to anyone inconvenienced...
Hello to all, My name is Steve Tyng and I'm toying with the idea of building a warship. Some of you already know me from the R/C Tank Combat world and know...
Welcome Steve, Hey Go for It, the hobby needs large French BB's real bad. And to tell the truth I love to shoot at the French no matter what size sponge they...
Also, As an FYI, we have most of the Cedar Lodge Rooms reserved for us. I'll be picking up (2) Bottles of CO2 from Linde Gas Friday morning. Looks like Buddy...
Marty, No they don't have a "Street Number address" (just called to make sure), but they are off of Cedar Lakes Drive. My Navigator will get me to Cedar Lakes ...
Steve, Build it and we will battle it. Those ships are deadly in reverse. If you do well, you will have to build Bat one that works! (pokes at Bat with a...
Welcome Steve, that's quite an ambitious project you have planned but I've seen some of your work on the tank combat site and have no doubt that you can do it,...
I have just ordered, and expect to receive and test next week, a 6 channel receiver for the Vex radio system. From my understanding, it should be similar in...
How stringent are the scale requirements in the underwater sections of the hull? Particularly in the radius at the turn of the bilge and in the prop and...
Is 10mm close enough to 3/8" in regards to frame width? The difference is just .0187" over. The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of using aluminum bar...
Not too bad really, the ship should look like the original ship but no one is really going to measure the radius of the bilge unless it really looks odd....
All Here is an up-dated list of the hulls that I have for sale. Australia / New Zealand (2) Fiberglass hull from Ralph Coles. Comes with a set of basic...
Hi! Browsing the itnernet, I'm finding there are two basic types of solenoid operated cannons out there. One uses KIP solenoid valves, the other uses Clippard...
You are correct. The air flows from the source, through the KIP, to teh gun. As for flow, I don't know the exact rating, but it "feels" like a little more...
Sorry Tim, I have to dissagree with you. The Kip is quite a bit more. I worked it out a year ago... Forget the rating now though. If you need the number:...
9mm might be closer to the nominal width of 3/8" wood. I doubt there would be any complaint it it were a skudge under, though I could see complaint for a...
Of course, Clippard also makes electrically activated (Solenoid) valves of various flow rates. The "Mouse" serries is commonly used in Big Gun for activation,...
I believe that the orifice size of the popet is larger than the kip valve. ... From: IRCWCC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:IRCWCC@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of Wreno...
Mouse will not fire small gun alone... They need the booster. With the booster, I think they are vastly more expensive than the Kips. & they are not...
Justin, Not exactly. A Flow Rate off a Clippard System is 6.8 SCFM at 100psi which is virtually identical to the "standard" 6V KIP's that we use (I believe ...
Best stuff I have found is the fiber reinforced tigathane tubing, 1/4" ID, from mcmaster.com it has very good flexibility and is very crush resistant....
Sorry Justin, you are wrong on both counts. I use Mouse Solenoids to Fire PAV-3's (Not a Booster, a Poppet Valve) Total cost: $30.00 I actually have this down...
I was wondering what the failure mode of the KIP valves are? Steve ... which ... believe ... friends ... Behalf Of ... more. I ... the ... 150psi. ... the ... ...
You guys can use any valve you want ! My Kip powered cannons will smoke nearly any cannon out there NOT powered by a kip with Repeatable speed and raw hard...
Building the bismarck. it has an armour belt. does this mean I can up a stringer one inch below the water line and a stringer right below the deck? string...
