GRAMPIAN PRIDE rescue vessel refurb
« on: April 15, 2024, 12:51:16 pm »

Hi
 Another refurb of the older models in the showroom, this one is approx 12 years old.
 Old 27mg radio and bobs board and motor stripped out and new Nimh batteries, ESC and  motor fitted, linked through 1 x10amp ESC plus a battery for the bow thruster and a lot of ballast.
 We spent a lot of time getting the balance spot on and motor fitted in cradles with foam pads to insulate from the hull, Double coupling,
 Tested on a very windy day. but it was nice a sunny until we got to the lake she handled a treat just as the sun was setting, hoping to get a nice atmospheric shot into the sunset ,
 maybe we can get her out again in the sunshine and no wind.
 Model is  1/48th scale, length 830mm  beam 200mm running on 1 x falcon 5 motor on 6 volt NiMh batterie. and a 108-02 bow thruster on 6 volts
 Regards
 Ron

Talk about old models, I have just acquired a Dean,s model made in the 80s, The Hudson Sound, sadly neglected but the weathering is superb so I think I will leave it as it is. Another of Rons masterpieces. nemesis
