Hi there, thanks guys, appreciate the comments, I stripped her down and loaded her into the back of the Tuscon the day before her launching , had 2 inchs to spare above the front hand rails as she went up the ramp and in but dragged the keel as she went up , may have to alter the stem stopper on the trolley ?. So with her ballast the 2 batteries and the lead came to 18.5 Kg , but next time will take a Kg out of bow move it back plus another 2Kg aft of the motor, the only problem I had on the day was her reversing (wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding) plenty of grunt in forward , I thought I may have messed the propeller when I re shaped it to allow for the steerable nozzle, but untill I got the model back home and realized only getting half the revolutions in reverse, and the % rate set in the transmitter was at 100% ,? thought I had a problem ,a few days later had another look at it and found a small switch on the ESC it had 3 settings played with that now have full revolutions in reverse
....the next model I'm working on at present is small (to small ) 23.5 inchs, cheers
