Nice one!

She's gonna be massive in 1 \ 10th! At first I thought it was a speedline kit but Adrian doesnt do one in that size to my knowledge. Is it scratch?

Happy Chrimbo!

with a lifeboat that size you'd be more than welcome, i'm sure the lads would agree.

Thanks for the invite but i only get 20 minutes running from a pair of 6000mah 4 cell lipo's . I would need a lot of lipo's to cover that distance

No not realy Dave, if its all to scale, water tight and ballast correctly placed and secured then all will be ok
