Hi A nice simple job ?? get the Magnificent cleaned up and running again to film, it has been in its case for 20 + years will be a simple job ?? 20 years of dust and fly droppings and a seized up motor was just the start, It was put in its glass case because someone at a show had ripped of all the boats on one side and done a runner and wrecked a turret trying to twist it off. so a nice simple job took 5 weeks. Off to the lake for test run and loading a LOT of lead ballast and trimming she sailed a treat, this model all those years ago was the one in the 24 hour running championships which I believe is still in the record books. 24 hours non stop. She sailed a treat even on a very blustery day and handled the chop a treat. Powered by 2 x falcon 55 motors on 6 volts with 2 x 10amp ESCs scale is 1/96th Length 1.34mts beam 266mm. regards deans marine SEE HER HERE ON YOU TUBEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydGcXTIUNSo
