Thanks for that. Given me some ball park figures. Still trying to decide what I want to build. Got to be something I am in with a chance of finishing, or her in dorrs will go berserk. She really doesn't get it.

Cracking build there and an interesting read as regards the trials and tribulations of all things electrical. I hope she gives you no more trouble.

Blew the dust off this afternoon, first time out of the box in two years (I think!) Boat was fine, I had forgotten at speed I had set dual rates and expo on the rudder, turns improved when I remembered, batteries didn't do so well, and these are used regularly in another application, but a high amp draw such as this boat shows they are weak, its only using 1/2 throttle and you can hear the low voltage alarms going off!


need a bigger lake next time!

Goes well . . . hope your washing down with clean water afterward & before storing , Hoylake's pool tends to get a lot of salt water in the winter .

forgot about that Bill, it started to rain also! I wiped it down, but Ill check again today. I was going to go to Gautby, but strangely it was a lot windier there, and I was in the "kids coming out of school" time zone, so didn't want to get into that


I tested a few batteries, it was easier to do in the boat than in a model plane! looks like I need to buy some, 


Water looks great with that additive, pity that central box cant be removed now I always thought it spoilt the lake


I see the shelter roof has now gone, shame about that
