As time goes by our models get better and better. We endeavour to achieve more realistic products and we see to it that those elements complementing the design carry out their functions as similarly as possible to the original models.

When navy enthusiasts tried to build classical models, they could only reproduce the movements of radars or the turning of gun turrets, but since times have changed, navy has also changed in many ways and now missiles are really trendy. For this reason, modellers are facing a new challenge - they have to get their models to launch missiles.

For the resistance, we will utilise the wire used for incandescent resistances that can be found in stoves and burners, although we can also get it in a hardware or electric supply store. We can also use the wire from a stove that doesn't work anymore, but the length of the resistance will depend on the voltage. To test the voltage, we will connect the wire to a battery pole and we will vary the length until we verify that the wire gets incandescent without breaking. Once we have found the appropriate length, we will build a spiral and we will place it in the rear part of the launching tube using a nylon tag (a terminal strip).

Once we have finished building the launching tube and the ignition resistance, we will assemble the box where the missiles lie. But before this, we will make a hole on this box for the missiles to come out easily, or we can also build a lid to hide the tubes, and then take it out when the moment comes to launch the missiles.

In order to shoot from the distance, we may use three types of triggering mechanisms, depending on the number of shots: for two shots, we can use two micro-switches placed on a servo, so with each movement of the servo we will activate one of them. For four shots, there is also system in which we need a servo, which has to be installed on a printed circuit board. By doing this we obtain two independent contact points for each turning direction of the servo and therefore we get four shots. Finally we can also use an electronic circuit, which is connected to the receiver and we can activate two commuted relays in each sense so we get, like in the previous case, four shots. However, we don't need the servo. This device is supplied by electronize under the denomination switchers with two our four relays. The device is quite affordable if we take into account that we don't need the servo.
