Armoured Vehicle-Launched Bridge (AVLB) support vehicle

Post by dominicm »

This is probably the most complex RC we have ever filmed for 'Essential RC'. I cannot imagine the engineering that went into making this AVLB. The owner was using a highly complex transmitter with many channels to control the many features of this vehicle that enabled it to deploy the bridge. Quite a feat of engineering as moving the bridge off the vehicle obviously changes its balance/centre of gravity. I could see the special stabilisers were first deployed before moving the bridge. This is a long video. It also shows how the bridge is recovered back onto the vehicle.

This area and the vehicles were exhibited by Verband der Reservisten d. Bw. Landesgruppe Berlin at Modell-Hobby-Speil in Leipzig, Germany.

Hi I havnt got a clue how he did this one,I have a bridgelayer took me 18 months to make it work but its much more simple than the one on the leo hull. Take my hat off to him, this is mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUy_gMrOn2U&t=2s

Like i say took 18 months to build and get it to work all i had were a few photos of the external part no photos of internal so had to guess that.

Hi Found the build of the Bridge layer http://borsti2000.bplaced.net/Leguan.htm
Take a look at his other builds while your there some of his work is way off the grid .Another bridge layer M48 based, a Mine killer and other great working models .

I had look.There are some beautiful pieces of precision engineering below the surface. :thumbup:
