I'm currently working on a project to resurrect a cold-war era 12.8m satellite dish. We've replaced the original very-large DC servo motors (30HP per axis!!!) with some much-smaller modern software-controllable servos and some "'prefix" gearboxes. Initial testing has been encouraging....

Little tip for 3d printing: save your parts as a STEP file instead of an STL. Your round edges will be more or less perfectly round instead of polygonal and your fitments/tolerances will be much better - not to mention a cleaner look!

[@Slikx666]

Just a thought. This may be the first time an aircraft carrier was converted into a battleship. 🤔

[@ultraguardiansev465]

It’s kind of fun to think about. It was there other way around in history.

[@user-mi8ef4qd2k]

If you want to sail it from inside, you'll need to cut the windows on the Bridge Deck (usually at the top of the Main Tower) to see where you're going. Nice add the Bismarck style Markings. Next time, build another one and have a battle.

[@Asteral_ninja]

You should use compressed air to fire the giant nerf darts. It may not be as safe but it would be a lot more fun and it should also give you a lot more range.

Here's a good tip when building a cannon make the bottom half longer than the top half so the bullet would go more farther

Random jump cut "Now if you think this looks like I'm building something from a game." No no don't do... Then it's not a war thunder ad?

[@danieltolkachov2404]

Love how you pulled into music that mark rober usually uses, and also making a giant nerf cannon!

[@Eritini.]

The ship has gotten all the plastic surgeries available!

[@Slyd_Fox]

One thought to that may improve cannon performance, use half length darts. The standard, normal scale dart doesn't have great flight characteristics in stock form. The blaster modding community has found that half-length darts fly farther and deviate less from the point of aim. That being said, I don't know how well it would scale up. Also, you could try either the NERF Mega XL darts or even NERF Demolisher rockets.

[@IbrahimAlturk13]

How to fix your Hydro foil boat How to Calculate Hydrofoil Lift? The following steps outline how to calculate the Hydrofoil Lift. First, determine the coefficient of lift. Next, determine the hydrofoil velocity (m/s). Next, determine the hydrofoil wing area (m^2). Next, gather the formula from above = HL = CL * (997*V^2/2) * A. Finally, calculate the Hydrofoil Lift. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

[@Sergeantstopmotion]

Nice boat it looks like a mini Bismarck.

[@Truex007]

bro is building world of warships for real. Honestly... you need two of these to have a battle...

[@Nzext]

An idea is that you build a missile system on the boat. That would be sick!!!!💡💡

[@ucitymetalhead]

How awesome would it be if they had a rack of rockets they could fire off.

[@Goofdude43]

[@tetronaut88]

Please come back to your old RC submarine that you did as a collaboration with DIY Perks!

[@kmorris180]

The firearms instructor in me is watching this and having a moment as you flag people with the turret guns. 😂😂😂

[@berrodude]

I would have gone a step up with the turrents. Single air compressor fed through a valve bank to fill pressure chambers for each barrel. Then you can use ammunition that really packs a whollop.. Legality aside.. Maybe 40mm chalk rounds for the epic "explosions", or organic produce like potato's

[@kobra_playz274]

[@CaptWalter88]

You know what, I think this is your greatest RC ship build so far and hope to see more of these rc's. Also keep up the great work an really smart to use your carrier to convert it into a battleship.

[@kumeater]

You should collab with Flasutie and use his explosive shells on the battleship!

[@crazykittenvideos855]

You need to see the Naval battle at Peasholm park in Scarborough. Been running for ever and is people in warships recreating a battle on the lake throughout the summer months. Complete with explosions, fire and planes flying in to destroy the enemy base. Been going since I was a kid! Great work by the way looking forward to the next video

[@OklahomaRailfan_Productions]

Wow, that's really cool!

[@Megatron7109]

That looks like the HMS MAJESTIC

[@zachlee805]

You should make a boat with a cabin you can get into, or one with a big front window

[@DJ_deVille]

What a great RC project! The giant Nerf cannon idea is brilliant! BTW for the turrets, you may be able to reduce the wobble of the casings by placing a ring of some sort between the underside of the turret box and the deck. Real full-size warships used rings of roller bearings to cradle the turrets in order to distribute the weight evenly. A thin piece of plywood bent to form a ring with some low-friction tape pasted along the top edge would probably do the trick. Your firing accuracy would likely improve quite a bit. Overall very nice work!

[@wildancrazy159]

Why not use air compressor to allow for a repeating main gun? It can be regulated to cause a dialed in pressure to give them a ability to be accurate.

[@aedventures9183]

You should really reach out to detailers to make these even more awesome!

[@The_Goldenhammer.]

Nice Boat. Reminds me of a ww1 era dreadnought. A reccomendation i can make is to give the turrets a wider ring around the bottom so they are more stable and wont fall of so easy.

[@stavrosbeats2013]

Can you build a flying aircraft carrier. Like a big drone ? That would surely be something unseen.

[@TexanMechanicus]

I've been following your channel now for a while and the worst aspect of watching your videos is getting so many projects added to my list. You're an inspiration to the community and love the energy you bring to the camera. Keep it up, we love the work you put in!

[@darmanskirata4167]

Interesting. Historically it was the other way around, turning battleships into carriers

[@lady_draguliana784]

for added stability, you could add a pontoon disguised as an escort ship and either attached under the waterline, or attached with clear acrylic!

[@martinsoublette95]

The same turret mechanism might be used on a giant rc tank, powered by two electric wheelchair motors.

[@GooseGooseYT]

Hell yeah! Dude you are insanely smart. I know imma have a good time when you post. Have a good day! (Edit: You should do an RC battleship battle with some of your friends!)

[@blackrari]

This amazing you did good 👍🏼 😊I hope you can make titanic like this but not reeking this you can do the same and you can just go in the bridge and sail the titanic

[@Hanyapemaincdid]

You can use a mini gas can to make it fly and fiber is not recommended if use gas can but 3d print work

[@simonabunker]

You should really build a second one so you can have a proper battle. You could then put paint balls on the end of the darts to see where they hit. It might be good to put FPV cameras on the turrets too so you can aim them. Are you going to have any more speed attempts this year?

[@ucitymetalhead]

I do think it's fun to think that there is a real submarine from ww2 called the USS Cod, which is just a little bit different from a battleship
