Title: SWt Méloir.
Post by: KBIO on March 22, 2022, 07:56:54 am

Hello !
I cann't find a post on this boat , if I opened one or not ?
But yesterday , the sun shinning (at least) I was able go to my favorite pond and to sail a bit .
My St Méloir was originally equipped  with a Caton engine that I moved to my BAT.
In place, I installed a ANTON engine : JADE (4,5cc) .
As usual, during the first test, I do not let the pressure going up high enough and I sailed with less than  2 b. It needs more to gain speed.
next time !
Have a good day ! :-))

So KIBO, the 'Jade 4.5' appears to power the St Méloir , very well :-)) ........good capacity, however not too fast or heavy in false speed ;D

I do prefer scale steam rather than any form of scale steam boats overpowered to the point of silliness  {-)
