Scans as promised, unfortunately this is all that's in this magazine and the article is concluded "in next week's issue"....

That'll be 9th March 1955 then  :-)

Hope this helps.

Thanks for those Mark
 
They explain the rudder, now I see it it makes sense. Looks like the builder stopped at that stage.
 
Thanks all for the info... :-)) :-))

hi there TheLongBuild, couple of pics of the back of the boat
 
You will see how I modified the servo arm into a long slot to take the tiller arm and also I have included a pic of the motor setup the motor is from somewhere :-) but the speed controller is an ACTion P68A and it runs off the receiver pack for the radio gear so its limited to the max of 6 volts which is ideal I think for this type of small model.   Hope you have some fun completng this model off cos they are a nice little model when they are finished.
 
aye
