Well I suppose its time I put a small blog up for my Fairey Huntsman build. I was hoping to get this to some form of running order for Mayhem weekend, but sadly failed ... roll on next year
I remember building one of these based on GRP when I was younger and enjoyed it a lot, no idea how I coped then as I feel like I'm struggling at the moment! I think I'm putting too much thought into it
This kit was supplied to me from Stavros as a wooden hull only kit.
Loving the full size version of this boat I wanted to try and see if I can stick as close as possible to the real thing's setup by incorporating twin motors, 3 blade screws and rudders. If it fails then I will learn by the process and make any changes.
As you will see from the pics below there is a lot of cosmetic work to do. I have a nice fresh colour scheme planned once the tech and mechs are finished.
Any comments welcome.

Current setup is:
2 x 12 pole 12vdc motors
Action P94 controller
FrSky TFR6 7ch 2.4Ghz Receiver FASST Compatible
Twin rudder
2 blade plastic 55mm props (will try 3 blade brass at some point)
2 x 11.1v Li-Po batteries supplying 11.1v in parallel, I do plan on tryng 22v depending on its performance during trials.
