I've had a long spell at sea on several of the companies ships but now have some long awaited rest so thought I would get the tug out from under the dust and spider webs and have a little refresher as to sea trials
Err Umm well been such a long time since I even had the Transmitter out of its case I could not remember what model number the VS tug was programmed into it
Went up to the lake with expectations and a smile, first off broke a terminal on one of the 12v SLA's so had to use a spare. Then another club member said my transmitter was interfering with his vessel, I'm on 40Mhz FM hes on 40Mhz AM ? So shut all my system down and his vessel carried on doing what ever it felt like, so noting to do with me
Tug in water ! all ready to go and forward o the sticks = tug going side ways back on the sticks and tug spins round like there's no tomorrow? now trying to get the tug back to the edge of the lake when the controls are not as one would have thought took a little bit of "out of the box" thinking.
After some time I did manage to reprogram my transmitter so that forward is forward and back is back etc and did manage to have an hour or so before the battery died too much to let me use both drives at full power.
I di have the camera but with all the problems I caused myself I did not have the energy to get it out and take any pictures. I will continue the build now that I am happy with the trim and control (lets hope I can get some done before returning to a ship) be whatever that one is called....
