Tested the Schuetze on the water for the first time yesterday.
Found one slight problem. Having used a 6v lead acid battery instead of the Robbe ones I found that my battery being heavier it pushed the bow down a bit.
When I had painted the hull I used Robbes dimensions to mark out the water line. I now found the water line at the bows to be under water [not good].
I then had to move the battery back as far as it would go and the repaint the bottom of the hull.
It is now all finished as the last job was to check out the range of the radio control and this was found to be fine at 200 yards which is more than I will ever need.
I now have to wait a fortnight for the maiden voyage as better half has things arranged plus I have to wait till son isn't working as I need him to fetch and carry.
This build has been most enjoyable, have now got to persuade the better half to buy another one.
