After many many months with my GB in mothballs I tried test running it on my local pond yesterday on the edge of Dartmoor. The run was done without any topsides, just the hull and below decks hardware and electrics and with a hull that I had lightened as much as I dared. Whatever you do Stan don't think of trying this with yours after all your hard work. Mine shipped water like a colander. If I continue it will now be with the aim of ending up with a static model! As we all knew it is way to heavy to be classed as an RC ready model. Shame on you Amati.....
