Well, she looks good on the water AND the sound reproduction invokes memories from watching the film - most entertaining - thank you for sharing. :-)

Regards,

Ray.

Ahh the Wirral I see !
I'm coming to Hoylake rugby ground to stay for a week or so this Thursday. Amongst other things I'll be trying to visit a Tug near Bootle  :-)

wish I could get someone to get me a working dorsal fin! I just cant get it to work, in spite of many attempts

How about a motorised pop bottle with the fin on top, weight the bottom of the bottle so its naturally self righting i.e. another under water fin.

well I've done the towing behind the boat, and all other ideas, I want a rc shark, well dorsal fin, it needs to go right left and forward, and dive the height of the dorsal, I tried many times to offer a commission build, as I have failed many times to do this, but never any takers, I would have thought it was an easy enough project for a sub expert, maybe not, its a mystery to me, maybe time to have another go O0


This is what I have, but it just did nose dives to the bottom and trawled all the weed up, or bobbed on the top!
