Windvane Update
12 July 2012
OK, so the pendulum and paddle works according to design sitting in the slip using the motor to put a current against it. The wind vane works using my hand to move the cable. The cable is about 2 feet too long. No problem, I will use it for the control cable to the Tiller Pilot’ mode. Now I have to get fabric on the vane and see what happens.
Blocks are installed and ready as soon as a part comes in and I get the control lines done. Hopefully sea trials will happen in the next week or 2. Need wind for it.
