Mien Tiger

[Herr Fritz]

Now that things have gotten back to 'normal' ...yeah right

I have decided to start over with a fresh Tiger ( from the parts bin ) and make some
improvements and now with my new Clark TK22 supplied by Immortal Hobbies It will
really be cool.

I will be using the servo Barrel elevation method ...and it is yet to be determined if I
will stay with the modified Tamiya recoil I have already worked on or the Servo Recoil method
I want to compare the barrels reaction speeds .....tho I'm sure that in the long run I will
most likely have no field issues with the less complicated servo technique.

Here is my Tamiya Recoil Mod with Camera flash effect...Keep in mind its the HL stock 18 and
sound that I was using at the time. I may go with a High tension LED as well.....still not sure
...you gotta admit...the quick flash and brightness of the camera strobe is very impressive!

I do plan on lighting my rear 'NAV' lights...tho it still seems to be a toss up on what the real color
was......I wonder was there ever any WRITTEN text or letters from German Tankers to what they
saw or discribbed it as looking like??

Here is what I have so far!

Any input or ideas would be very helpful....I wish I can take credit for all my efforts
but after some research ....well....great minds think alike

Thanks Lads!

I want to go with the servo Recoil just because its so easy and less can go wrong
but like I said if the look is not right I will stick with mien Tamiya mod.

Servo for the Barrel up / down is a no brainer.

BUT.....how can one not go with the Camera Flash strobe effect....I mean at dusk or night that puppy
will light up the whole block as well as being seen in the day light.

The strobe effect is not so bad if ya don't get bit by that 600 volt capacitor and in my tank all the main
strobe circuit items - Cap, board, and strobe are all plug and play and can be changed out in seconds in
the field when needed as they all tend to ware at times. You can go to any corner shop that develops
disposable cameras and ask if they toss the shells....two places filled a med size plastic bag for me....I have plenty of
stobes, caps and boards that are already set up and ready to be used.....the only TRICKY part is the wires
In order to use High Tension camera flash is to use Teflon coated wires as standard wire solid or multi strand
will ark and short especially inside brass or aluminum tubing ( like so many rc tanks use ).
