With the Puffer’s drive system sorted I looked at the steering system. Fortunately my Dad is building the same kit and on the plan that shows how this works. Basically a servo is mounted under the bridge with a wire running across the deck to the rudder.
The plan doesn’t show how the servo is to be held in space so I improvised the tray shown with some bits of balsa. The long bars are one servo wide and my plan is to glue the ends under the deck.
Because the balsa was a bit soft I varnished it a couple of times with some quick drying domestic varnish found in the garage. If it ever needs protecting from water than this boat is in bigger trouble than anything some varnish can solve !
