Thanks for the comments! This model hasn't been on the water for quite a while as I've given up on cheap RTR radio. But I'm planning to refit it with proper radio (keeping the original motor, prop and Kort) sometime in the next few weeks. Once this is done I'll be able to sail "Westwood" at Black Park along with the other club boats (it might make a useful rescue boat for my sailing models)
I'd been meaning to get round to this for ages, but was put off by the necessity of buying a new radio + ESC. However, I've now made a "modular" system allowing a RX + ESC to be quickly swapped between models, so I'll only need a couple of each for all of my models that use two-channel radio (I'll post some info on this system on the forum when I've taken some photos)
I plan to refit my USCG cutter in the same way eventually, but this will be a more difficult job, as it has no rudder installed and the cylindrical sockets for the original RTR motor pods will make it difficult to install the rudder tiller arm + control rod.
