Took inga out last night after years break for her stillest evening we've had for weeks so it mostly motored around the lake! did catch a bit of wind a couple of times.

Finally got it on the water again. New coupling from HK. Way to powerful, goes uncontrollable at speed with just prop in water!

This video follows on from my earlier post. I changed to running on a 5 cell lipo (18.5 volts) and I am very pleased with the Improvement over 14.4 volts Nicads. (Edit sorry Nimh`s) I put this link into my reply on my previous post but it didnt work as a hotlink so I am posting this.
The boat isnt quite flat out here due to the difficulty videoing and steering.

Nautix 1/32 North Sea Fishing Trawler Our Lass II Whitby RTR Boat

A nicely detailed radio controlled 1/32nd scale model of the Whitby based 21.5 metre North Sea trawler Our Lass II. This vessel is typical of a number of modern, well equiped trawlers built in recent years. now sold my boat

HI heres a pic of the trawler in the pond in Herbert Park, Ballsbridge, Dublin.

Built from a kitishack kit 56" it runs on two Hobby King 750kv brushless motors I used brake pipe to make the motor cooling coils two 200a water cooled esc,s, I got the 5mm shafts & 42mm brass props and couplings from SHG models the power is supplied via two 14.8v lipos this is a really powerful boat

This was my first Coble now sailing up the coast on the Druridge bay country park lake runs on a Johnson 600 motor powered by a 3c lipo

it is ready to send to my pal in Scotland for him to finish
I have put a 10" shaft & a 42mm prop in with a Johnson 600 motor all the seats & rudder are made for him to fit along with the dodger that I am busy making for him, I will be starting another soon the planks & transom are cut ready to assemble on the jig

I bought the hull from a friend who moulds them then built it from pictures I had taken of the actual boat in Blyth harbour it runs on a Graupner 700bb motor 12v battery Robbe Fixed Kort Nozzle with Rudder & 60 mm Propeller lights on a separate 6v battery & figures from Adrian Clutterbuck
