Hi
Thanks for your interest in my 1/144 George Washington Experimenters Cylinder kit. This
kit is designed to fit in the Steve Neill hull kit. The total length is about 17.75
inches, and is 2.25 inches in diameter at its widest section. It is one 5-inch section of
2.25 inch OD lexan tube with two o-ring end caps, a 7-inch section of 1.75 inch OD lexan
tube with two o-ring end caps, and a 4.75-inch section of 2.0 inch OD lexan tube with two
O-ring end caps. I used one GWS park flyer motor/gearbox assembly to power the
model, and a RCABS (Recirculating compressed air ballast system) ballast system.
All the components used are off the shelf.
I include the 15 components * of the basic cylinder and a CD ROM with photos of my R/C
design. Also on the CD are a list of the components I used in mine, where I purchased
them, and a basic text of how I built mine. This is not a step-by-step how to kit1! I give
you the basic cylinder, and a proven design to work with. How you choose to complete the
unit is up to you.
It is not hard for anyone to follow what I did, but I do take into account you already
know basic R/C building techniques. This is one reason why I call it an
experimenter’s kit.
I am asking $90 plus shipping for the experimenter’s kit. . I try to keep them in
stock but as I build them on a first come first served basis e-mail me with your order and
I will contact you as I get your kit done. I will take no money till I am ready to ship.
Thanks for your interest, Dave.
I am also selling the RCABS pump and bladder I used in my installation. The pump is $25
and the bladder is $15.
