I'm not doing a full thread on it here as it’s all on my site at http://magpieyachts.com/building14.html
I’ll post the odd pic though for those who can’t be stuffed going to my site. That is assuming you can even be stuffed looking at my builds anyway. I’m not that bad am I? Just kidding.
It's a 36" 1/72 scale Steve Neill kit.

She’s getting a Dave Welch WTC with RCABS etc.

Just another snapshot of how she's going. The rear end tacke is all done and I'm now doing the free flood vents and detailing while I wait for Dave to send me the WTC bits from USA.

She’s all done externally now. Once the WTC bits get here, I’ll make her a goer.

Note: The tower isn't attached yet. That's why it looks a bit crooked. Will be straight. I'll bolt it on when I'm ready to launch her.

I started on my WTC today. I’m using a Subtech motor-belt gear setup and I fitted that today and the bracket for the 2 servos. Rudder and dive planes. The speedie also goes in the back section and the APC. The air pump goes in the middle one and the battery and receiver etc go in the front one/ The 2 front parts are adjoined for air pressure storage and the aft one is separate to avoid positive pressure on the Subtech seals from the inside when the bladder is empty.
