Got the Trumpeter BB-39 yesterday, after figuring out the basic set up, start the building today..
The first thing is to cut out a maintenance access opening in the main deck.. this thing is rugged for a plastic ship... main deck thickness 3mm... |

Are you going to make all the props operational? What motor will you be using?

using brushless is due to its easy of installation (no gear box), no motor heat and conserved battery consumption... |

... when it comes to brushless, it is very easy to control the amount of output power you desired...
Unlike the brushed motors, brushless motor got a very wide range of KV (motor rpm per Volt) selection ... e.g. should I find my KV1250 motor is way too powerful, then I can easily change to a lower KV, e.g. 850, then I got 1/4 of the power... The Chih Yuen I just completed two days ago is also powered by Brushless and the speed is just right, with a 8000mAH Lipo, it can run 3.5Hr contineously... |

Wow nice boat!
Will you be posting a build log of her too? BTW, what is the scale of your Arizona BB, 1/350 or 1/200? |

With this being a limited edition and pricey model, did you give any thought of using the as- built shaft locations and correct prop size and just power two shafts? What Im trying to say is, you could have kept everything original and still powered two shafts. You Chinese battleship looks awesome by the way.

Congrats on your latest project, cmpang! It looks like a smaller version of Hai Chi.
Looks like you need an opponent to go up against your Qing Imperial Navy cruiser. Any word when our friends in Hangzhou will finally get around to releasing that Yoshino kit? |
