This kits a very much "pool" models as they are quite small.
Easy enough to build but don't except too much in the way of performance.

Great first / practice build model.  :-)

This boat is out of the same stable as the Pacific Balsa / Aeroflyte - Dictator which was built , remodelled and remade by steamboatbob on this forum back in September 2009.

Here’s the link to his build – the way he upgraded it I would say not a beginners boat but shows what can be done when pushed to the limit.

You may find some of his adaptations useful. Seems it can be made to go pretty quick. You don’t have to go the whole hog like Bob
