Well then, shall I start the assembling the kit ?..looks easy simply to assemble the kit as it is, but I don't know whether or not
easy to convert it to RC capable one to sail on the large LAKE not on the pond,,,, Anyhow it is so small for the lake....18.5 inch long boat, worth challenging to convert to RCable boat for the lake ??...

Only one thing convenient for me is its instructions written in Japanese first, English and Chinese..Main target is Japanese..??

If your PTB had been a bit larger, it could have installed an emergency small battery for secure recovery to the shore without
any anxiety, as my Najade that have been saved several times by this small battery in the pic below.
Even this small battery could give her over 3mitutes or so to sail at moderate speed.   

Paris Olympics 2024.... I do like opening ceremonies!

 Highlights:
 The Eiffel Tower Laser light show, (22 mins in)
 
 When the BBC commentators couldn't identify the 4 'celebrity in the boat with,
  Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams & Carl Lewis! ( turns out it was Nadia Comaneci ) 
 
 Celine Dion belted out a good one...

 And the Rain ...... truly worthy of an Olympic Gold metal!

Sounds like normal behaviour for an esc setup for LiPo cells. These have a low voltage cut off to the motor to protect the cells from being over discharged. During running the voltage of the cells under load will drop below the cutoff voltage and the motor will cut.This allows the cell voltage to rise over the cutoff voltage and the motor will start but the load will drop the voltage again cutting the motor. this sets up the cycle of stop/start you are getting. If you cut power when the motor initially cuts and let it sit for a couple of minutes the battery will partially recover enough to allow you to run at slow and bring the boat back to you. Best to time how long a run you get before the motor cuts and actually tun for at least a minute less than this, if you have a timer on your transmitter set this up to warn yourself.

hi there


there is a model boat website - which you may be aware of - this used to be dedicated to this type of Craft (Fireboat 93/94) and on this website I notice now - they do still have some drawings - they aren't very legible though - for some reason.   At one time they did used to be good clear copies.   If you join that model boat website and ask the question there - you may get some answers that you are seeking.


Here is a link to that website Model Boats Website - Plans (model-boats.com)


The other thing is, if you do  a search on Mayhem here; for the aero kits Fireboat, there are a lot of discussions on them.   Look out for an old friend of this website HS93, Peter, he was a bit of an expert on these Crafts (he is a big miss) .

Great job John, fun boating is the essence of our hobby. Those plans of D G are a terrific way to make good boats for very little cost, and still the best way to learn the basics.
