Hi Phil and Steve,
Thanks for the advices. Both are much helpful!

Thanks very much Steve
I will have to have a look at my Late Tiger 1 2012 to see the elevation gear difference
to the latest King Tiger.
I know that the support plate for the motor bracket to sit on is much thicker on the
king Tiger.
Otherwise I think I might have been lucky and got it how it likes it
Hope you can get it right Chang,like Steve said a strap will support it.
Cheers
Phil

Maybe anybody with this problem should contact Mark at Armortek. I'm sure he would be interested if there is a problem.

Splitting up my MG fireing with a radio relay

[John Fitzsimons]

That's very interesting. Would love to know what's needed and how to hook up.

Excuse my ignorant question, but what is this component?
Thank you!

Ciao!

Hi John and Lacopo.
The switch is a BattleSwitch radio controlled relay if you Google it,arround £12 to
£16 and loveley and simple.
With a Futaba 7c receiver it will connect via a Y lead to channel 7 and I assign switch
G to that.
If you already have your 2 MG connected up and fireing together,I use 2 futaba servo
leads with a male and a female connector each end to fit in series with the existing
leads.
From the pictures you will see that I split and cut the black lead from each and a
black from the end that will be at the amplifier end from each lead I twist together
and these 2 to to the common terminal 2nd from the left.
The other 2 blacks,1 goes to the normaly closed terminal and 1 goes to the normaly
open terminal.
I connect the bow MG to the normaly closed so that this one will always be available
to fire,but then operating switch G will mean it disconnects the Bow Mg and the
coaxial MG will fire.
Hope the description is clear enough,I will see if I have a drawing to put on.
Cheers
Phil

Drawing for splitting 2 MG with a Radio Relay.
Please note that the drawing is for the Active Robot switch which has 3 terminals.
The one in my pictures is the BattleSwitch version with 4 terminals although the
4th is not wired up any way.

Thanks Phil. Think I understand that. Nice clear diagram even for me. I have some LEDs. Make up some barrels with LEDs to test. I just have one MG in the Tiger 1.

Started my winter camo and some more weathering
Fitted some accessories.
These photos I put on bigger than my usual ones so that when you click on them the
worn winter cam shows up better and the textures
