Fully stabilized turret Leopard 2 A6

[Gavin]

Hi all im just wondering, has anyone managed gyro stab the turret on the L2? I have a Blade SR helicopter with a nakered tail rotor with the gyro, still working i wonder if i could use this to stabilize the turret on my leopard any ideas? plus i have all the servos maybe i could use them for the servo thats on the main gun?

hi all

was chatting to my locoal model shop in weston s mare .. the owner also say its quite easy to do ! to stableise the gun and also to make the turret turn on a fixed point so the turret turns and the gun moves up and down as the tank moves in any direction !

will have another chat about how much it would cost .. and how good it is ... the shop owner says its rc helecopter technology !

i have the stablized gun mcevoyi you got the right idea, it couldnt be that hard, im just worried about the voltage of the servos as ob the heli isnt 7.2 volt i think the prob maybe trying to step down the voltage for the gyro, i Brel i notice the standard elevation and depresion isnt that fast at stabalising the gun with the standard kit thats why i wanted to know if i could use the heli servos, im not that clued up on it electronics that is i just wondered if people have done it.

i also know its been done on several german tank clubs sites .. the leopard's are the tanks that seem to have been done .. but i cannot read german and google translator cant seem to work out techinal german ,,, i will try to find the youtube footage .... looks just amazing ......

Yeah the google translater is pants but its mainly the way the germans piece sentances together, ial have to start going the german tank clubs. I bet it does look really good. ial have a look on you tube too.

such a cool idea to stabilise a gun. I wonder how well it would work.

I was trying to find any videos on YouTube of a model tank with both - stabilised gun elevation and turret, but there seem to be none

If you know of any such videos, could you please post some links here?

I wonder what Tiger I with stabilised gun would look like
