Chuck, You guys are dead on. Your concerns have already been incorporated into the project.
Your advice on the Morch pedestal several months ago stopped me from pulling the shaft and sprocket. Yes, some of the teeth are damaged but there are enough undamaged teeth for proper operation. The bulkhead I've installed is probably more substantial than that installed on the later hulls of the 35-1 production run. As a recovering engineer, I tend to overbuild things. I have 1/4 inch rubber pads behind each strike plate on the bulkhead to cushion the impact. All of these concerns and their solutions will be in the detailed project documentation which I will post once I complete the project. I hope to complete the project this week. Dennis C.
