It's a very fine day this day when the lake was calm enough to observe correctly how the boat would behave under actually  no wind/wave. She did a good sailing behaviour fundamentally as seen in the pics. The video will be here tomorrow to report this sailing scenes more and more precisely and vividly.!!!!!! :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

This was the second day of trial run and there is still room for improvements like insufficient countermeasures against water ingress which defect was this time drastically reduced, but not perfect partly due to deck hatches being exposed to continuous powerful splash caused mainly by hi-speed run. O0 {-) :D   Next time of trial run will be mainly checked at this point. O0 O0 O0
HOWEVER, SHE SAILED UNCONCERNEDLY and VIVIDLY this time too as in the pics.!!!!!!! {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) :-)) :-)) :-))
All the waves are by her powerful effect. %% %%  Originally the surface was mirror-like in the beginning. ;D

So impressive with long and a bit symmetrical splash in the 2nd pic from the last.... O0 :-))

tica,
Thank you so much for your good impression about the sailing scenes of my fast patrol boat still under trial run.


Arno,
I also do like to see a boat turning sharply and its wake left clearly behind the boat. :-)) :-)) :-))
The scenes of a boat/ship to turn are normally so dynamic by the waves around the bow through mid-ship followed by the wakes behind the stern which are also powerful to see dependent upon the speed. :-)) :-))   Wow wow!! %% %%

She looks REALLY good in action.  :-))


And you're right about a 'mirror-like' surface on the lake!   :}

KitS,
Thank you for your kind comment.! %%
........This day, the surface looks pretty well like a mirror when seen from the distant place as in the pic below.....
But actual surface was REALLY dirty as seen in another pic below....partly because of no water flow, not shaky on the lake like a mirror ..See pic3!! {:-{ %% :-X :o    This condition is nothing but a mirror, a water mirror.!!! :D {-) O0 :-))

I feel so happy to be able to attach a You-tube video of the second trial run which will surely let you know vividly how my fast boat conducted the trial on a calm lake this time. Please enjoy it.!!  She still needs more improvements to be undertaken soon.!! :D

The third day of trial run has come up this day welcomed by blue sky and calm surface WITHOUT green algae that means it's the best day for a test of the fast RC scale boat AT SPEED. O0 O0 O0 :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

That being so, I couldn't help doing so naturally since extended to the test by the best weather and nature fortunately this time. %% %%
Apart from the above, the pics taken this day were so impressive to me by the above conditions as to make me feel a good harmony between the best weather and the RC boat, namely the nature and artificial object... O0 :embarrassed: %)

In such a background, I would like you to feel such impressions as I had by the pics below.!!! :-)) :-)) 
Please enjoy the beautiful scenes accompanied by the RC boat.!! :embarrassed: :D {-)

Attn to pic no.5 in which you can see a catfish to welcome the test run approaching so close to the RC boat at the risk of her life
staying a while staring at the boat curiously..!! {-) {-) {-) :o :o :o

I suppose you may feel something so calm in the nature throughout the pics. O0 O0

Cheers!!

Here I attach a You-tube video of the third day of trial carried out at generally hi-speed than ever before.
After recovery, a slight smell from the motors as if they were blown off came up together with slight smoke in the hull... :o :o {:-{    Intensive checks later in my hobby room showed that right motor had suffered from over-heat problem subtly and I judged it as not a major issue for the next trial sailing. :-X

The pics of 1/38 super-Guardian class patrol boat of my design and 1/1 Guardian class patrol boat by Austal. {-) %% %% %%
I do like "on-the-water" pics especially from this low angle when it comes to still condition. :-)) :-)) :-))

Yours still needs some life buoys, but apart from that, she is looking VERY realistic :-)) :-)) :-))

Thanks for your compliment and you really have noticed a good point of life buoys which are very important to install for a model ship as well as a real ship, aren't they.!!? Arno.   The accessories are scheduled to be added to my boat within the year. :embarrassed: :D

Sailing behavior has been greatly improved by some review of steering function and balance of the boat.
But water-resistant problem is a bit unsatisfactory to me still now as my practical lake-going RC boat.
I am totally reviewing the water ingress issue currently. {:-{ :embarrassed:  Splash by speed is "gorgeous" as you may see by video and still pics. {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)   A real boat 1/1 is reportedly capable of running at 20-25knots at full speed while easily over 40 knots possibly for my boat at scale speed...!!!??? {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
However, I pushed throttle stick to only half AT THE LARGEST...!!!!! And she goes up to 40 knots easily in a few seconds..!!!! {-) {-)
 Cheap Mabuchi motors are tremendously powerful for this 41" RC fast boat really !!

In this sense, not only I but also you will never be able to see the boat running at full throttle forever and ever...for me and for her safety and lives.!! {-) {-) {-)

A Merry Christmas to all,!! :-))        It's a Christmas Eve tonight.!!!
I used to go to the Christian Sunday school every Sunday from elementary school days through high school period while not in the Christian university days though my parents were Buddhists only in mind. {-) {-)
Japan is one of the Buddhist country while Emperor's family is Shintoism from about 2700 years ago and the present Emperor Naruhito is said to be the 126th successor by a certain ancient document as well as its historians....

Apart from the above, some of my RC boats enjoyed the Christmas sailings with lovely childish Santa Clauses in recent years as seen in the pics below. :-)) :-)) :-)) %% %% %%   I wonder if you can identify a tiny childish Santa standing on the roof of a fore cabin of my patrol boat by the pics..??? :embarrassed:

Enjoy a happy Christmas in addition to a happy RC boating, mates.!!
Cheers.!!
