Graupner Southampton
yes this is an RTR however it has some scope for reworking to improve her performance
how it comes -
Motor : 2x speed 200 on gear box
drive train pre installed
servo pre installed
radio pre installed 27mhz
recomended upgrade
rudder servo- Futaba S3003 or better
motors - fine as is.
esc's Viper 15x2
battery 1x twin tail AA 7,2v (though 2x AA7.2 under fan tail is ok)
radio 4ch Futaba (R114F)
install V-tail mixer if your radio does not have VT mix on ch3&4
Servo pre-installed is identical is size to Futaba S3003, however despite what many people say about the servo that comes with it, that servo is perfectly capable and has sufficient travel, however when you upgrade, move the control arm to the outermost hole on the rudder tiller

running time approx 5-7 hours and runs to scale.
running problems she tends to tílt slightly in strong winds as she doesn´t have a very deep keel but looks good on calm waters.

As a slight aside to the electric boats.
Mary J Ward - Victor Models
Modified
Hull Length 35", with bowsprit 50", fully rigged with boom 55".
Beam 10.5"
Height - From waterline to top mast 37"
Draft - Hull 3.75", with drop keel 11.75"
This is what is in it.
HITEC HS815BB sail servo
I used this as it is big and has about 23+ kg/cm of torque. For comparison a basic sail arm servo has about 7kg/cm of torque.
It is much bigger but space is not a problem in this beamy model.
Futaba S3003 - standard servo for rudder
I used this as it came in the box with the transmitter.
Attack 2ER Futaba radio
Cheapest 2 channel I could find.
Proposlusion - varies
Sometimes small wind, sometimes big wind.
Speed - somtimes slow, somtimes faster (see propulsion above).
Battery life
TX about 20 hours using regualr Duracell.
RX about 8 hours, unless heavy winds, then 6 hours.
No Motor
