The next steps(s): My servo rotation/elevation & recoil kit has arrived and I have begun to crack on with the instalation.
Unfirtunately I have discovered that the GBS unit needs to be within 80mm of the control board in order to function correctly (something to do with lead length & signal degredation!) which has necessitated some significant changes to my overall plan.
I will now need to mount the board and GBS unit inside the turret so a major re-think is in operatio. I have (thanks Stain) been sent a couple of photos of a similar instal done by someone else so I have a fair understanding of what to do.
Step 1 for me = lining the hull with velcro because it looks like carpeting and will allow me to jiggle around with the battery & speaker positions and then magnetising the turret.
I glued the first set of 10 magnets into the lower half of the turret then (after careful measuring) cut and shortened the posts on the upper part of the turret to the required length and glued in the second set of (10) magnets.
