BUILDING A TIGER TANK
Part 19 by Vince Cutajar
Spent a whole day playing with the recoil mechanism with no success. Noticed also that the voltage between a fully charged battery and a half discharged battery changes the place where the cam stops. Basically at the end of the day I gave up and started thinking of Plan B.
I gave it another try with the same results. Then I had one of those moments (a rare occurrence). What if I reduce the tension of the spring? Added a piece of wire to the spring to reduce the tension.
Re-assembled the painted recoil mechanism. Took me quite a while to get it re-calibrated again. Installed it in the turret and put it on the hull deck to check if it is still working with R/C. I also checked if there is enough clearance with the barrel at full elevation.
