hi it is a large project its powered by two windscreen wiper motors'. im working on supper strutcher now but when i start on the hull i will post some more pics of inside the hull cheers pete

Thanks Pete........all Paddleduck members know the great advantages of wiper motors when used in paddlers.......... :-))
1. immense torque
2. very low current consumption
3. virtually noiseless
4. rated for continuous operation
5. what ratio step increase to the paddle shaft do you use?.........5:1?....or 8:1?
The only issue is running a wiper motor in reverse >>:-( .......the reverse excitation pulls the armature shaft off the single ball [as used as a thrust bearing] & the result is best described as "feathering" %% .....Derek

Thanks for sharing the images Pete...... :-))
1. there was a tremendous amount of detail built into the original build
2. the FWD windass & fittings look realistic.....which is a rare event
3. all of the bullwarks & deck planking looks very realistic....yes...... :D
4. a good vacuum out [10 years of pine tree needles?]...& progress on with the drydocking & STDB wheel repair O0
Questions
a. those ORANGE or REDISH dome shaped items near the stern....are the RC bells? ....
b. would I be close at guessing 1.8M hull length?
