Bad enough with large scale RC Mike, wouldn't know how to begin on on something like this.

Hi Eddie just watch that propeller, we would not want anything nasty to happen to you to raise your voice an octave or two, Mick B.

Perhaps one of Dean's micro drive set-ups would be suitable for this.

I'm gravely disappointed that this tug is not an R/C conversion... I had high hopes.

Seems this tug despite being 9" in length is a popular kit for R/C and a hacked servo seems to be the most popular method of propulsion (although the German site depicts another alternative).

Seems yours has an altered pilothouse; the original front bulkhead is not curved. I like the sunken idea though...
