Russian Typhoon Submarine

Part 2c - Installing the sail hardware (continued)

	The sail and hardware have been painted, and the hardware is ready to be installed.
After making sure everything fit, I temporarily secured the hardware with a clamp for this pic.
	Plans for the future are to have the sail hardware operational; meaning to go up and down. Some modelers use a servo motor with gears, others use a pneumatic piston while others use a simple floatation device. Mine, for the time being anyway, will be temporarily secure in the up position.
Next, it was time to install the navigation lights. I used Grain of Wheat, 12 volt bulbs and colored lenses for the job. The red, green and white lights were installed, and then the wiring was attached to a quick-disconnect plug after soldering together and using a piece of heat shrink tubing for a seal.
	The hole in the front of the sail is the opening for my Remote TV Camera.
