She looks good on the water, and I see she has smoke and water overboard discharge. Nice touches.

sure Sir...but not flat...because my battery space was set there exactly under motor...i added weight at back a little more, and voltage is restricted to 4.8 volt at maximum throttle...so she is runnig nicely..not for minutes..around an hour..without any motor over heating...thanks for the guidance from all...and sorry for the delay in reply..i was in duty...and i am in my work room to finish my lifeboat...soon...thanks once again...

What did you use to make the smoke? I have a small model and would like to create the same effect.

Thanks

OHH..sorry for the delay in replying friends...i was too bussy with my duty...yes SMOKE...its so easy, i was wandering for a smoke generator, for my crafts, but in INDIA, we do not have a good supplier...so i took one stuff from a model train, but it stops working as i fixed in a craft...so i thought again..agian...got it...its simple...here in my country, we always do POOJAAS, means, a ritual,in front of gods, for prosperity...while doing all poojas, we light INSCENSE STICKS, ( a smokey stick, almost 1 mm thick, a feet long, one gives an heavenly fragrance while burning, ), i took one of this, sized to my funnel, placed over an aluminium plate, and replaced the funnel back....OYE...OYe...it works...(hi...hi....)...i will post all pics related to that on next day, friend....cheers... Rathi

Thank You, I will look forward to seeing the pics. I have a small paddle steamer which would look interesting with smoke.
