I need to cut it shorter, drill and tap it to install grub screws to hold everything in place. Next two pictures is what the head should look like when installed, the third picture is the head and servo that will be used and the fourth picture he is once again being savagely attack by that feline beast of Greek Mythology.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I had to scrap the bushings in the pictures and make a new one that works better. I also moved his left arm into a lower position once I saw how it looked in the video, I'll take another video later on. https://youtu.be/cqANRoaaCEA | ||

Arthur those are words that have terrified me in my dreams! I think a dual crankshaft assembly is the way to go I sat and scratched myself for about a day as to how I was going to do it. I'll start with a mock up first and post it. | ||

I'm going to start from the ground up and get a little accurate regarding his body proportions. I'm going to put him on a diet and use gearing to attain movement for the upper body with a minimal use of space. He will have a 72 to 1 gear reduction motor to slow things down and increase his muscle power. I have to build the boat around him as opposed to having him fit the boat. I hope to salvage some of his framework to use in the new improved Charon. ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
