Hello everyone, Joe here! I hope you enjoyed the pictures. I built the boat from a Canadian, Ralph Coles, hull. It will be a Model Warship Combat class Gunboat, running at 28 seconds in 100 feet (30 metres) top speed. The gun fires I .177 caliber BB, each time transmitter stick is pushed, for a total of 50 rounds. The gun can be switched from a bow gun to a stern gun in a minute! The sides have windows cut out from just below the gunwale, to 1 inch ( 2.5 cm) below the waterline. The windows are covered with 1/32 inch (1 mm) balsa, and  silkspan. The pump has an automatic pump switch, that turns on the pump. It pumps 1/2 gallon per min. (2 litres) per min. It has (2) 180 class drive motors, with 2 to 1 Graupner gear reduction drives, and 1 inch (25) mm 3 blade brass props. -----Feel free to contact me with any questions. ---Joe Max.
