i built one many years ago , with a small electric motor , & ran it on an AA cell pack , space is limited but with a little thinking and the with the use of the modern micro radio equipment it shouldnt present too many headaches !

The only issue is the the split hull construction that could cause a few problems... you will need to trim and open out the frames and keel during assembly of the 2 hull sides

take a look at the destructions here

I like the look of this ship and its on my to do list once I get a bit further with some of my other builds
