small error in 1 below.
The second alternative should read - rotate and lift on the same axis.
JohnK

: The difficulties are various Reg, Bill.
: 1) The fin has to rotate on two axes through 90 degrees on one axis and at
: least 30 degrees on the other and remain controllable or it has to rotate
: on one axis and lift on the other.
: 2) This rotation has to be applied from outside the housing by cable and the
: entrance points are fixed so a degree flexibility is needed within the
: housing in various directions to remain in control of the fin.
: 3) To raise the fin is another problem. One can use the force of forward
: movement to centre the fin and design can help there, or a pedal movement
: is required.
: I've got them all sorted individually, but I want it to be simple and fixable
: on a trip and that is the difficulty. KIS has been mentioned by Reg and
: that seems to have stopped him. It is my problem too.
