Now that the A Class Wizzle Wozzle is finished (except for hull painting) and we are not flying for a few weeks due to the soggy conditions @ the field it was a perfect time to do some more work on Double Trouble, after all it’s only been a year since I fitted the now motors. (Can’t rush these things)

I’ve fitted the new 360deg pan mount for the onboard camera

 

Also made up the bow roller assembly for the anchor, its not fixed off yet but only needs a couple of screws.

and finally, got around to making & fitting the bow rail. It’s sitting a bit high at the moment but I don’t want to push it home into the sockets till it’s been painted as I suspect it will be difficult to remove once the 3d printed sockets grab. They are printed in TPU Flex and work very well.

The rails are all 1/8 (3.18mm) solid brass, silver soldered together.  First time I’ve attempted a bow rail but I’m pretty happy with the results. Get a coat of paint on them tomorrow & Double Trouble should be back in the water next weekend (if the weather is OK).

Might actually get it finished this time round.
