Topic: Making guns move !!

[pokherman]

Ok

So most of you know i'm new to this side of Rc. So its brain picking time..

Can anybody give me some advice on making guns and radars able to move please.. I dont want to just put a normal servo under the gun and watch it twitch. I want to make it so the guns can turn just past 90 deg from the line of the boat. Im building the Manxman so I think there is plenty of room in there from what I can see.. questions are what and how can I do this and also what should I be concerned about??

Thankyou in advance
Ian

Hi
 Lots of articles in the Mayhem site of making things move around
excellent site for all these sorts of things, copy and post your articles on the mayhem as well, lots of  modellers from here on both sites
