fast gets faster!
gearbox fitted, tested today with 8.4v graupner, running on 19.2v nimh. GPS Data logger installed, measured at 14.63mph, sound like a jet turbine!!, and this video was the slower of the 2 props tested.
Improvements with gearbox, motor is stone cold (it is water cooled, but was still hot as direct drive) , quieter, longer run time, esc cold, now able to upgrade from 2 blade 40mm prop to 3 blade, and possibly 4 blade, amp draw much less. Video taken at Newsham Park, Liverpool. Handling is now difficult, as its going way too fast, but its great fun! and might go faster, with the motor thats been fited tonight, watch this space!!

- pmdevlinLieutenantwell that was the distant memory of brushed motors!, way back when we had gas lanterns instead of LED's 😀well that was the distant memory of brushed motors!, way back when we had gas lanterns instead of LED's 😀 Unfortunately I cant remember the ratio, I think it was 2:1 from memory. it was later converted to brushless. Has not been run for two years since the bigger brother fireboat came along. I keep thinking just put a brushed motor back in it, and have plodding speed, it looks silly doing all that porpoising, and the bigger brother can give me my speed fix 😁

Seaplane Tender
This is a video of my completed Seaplane Tender on Bournville Boating lake in Birmingham.
The boat was completed just a few weeks ago, but the weather hasn't been right for boating.
The boat is powered by a 7.2V 400 motor and a 7.2V 1600Mah battery.

Seaplane Tender First Test
This is my boat a Seaplane Tender on its maiden voyage.
It is a deans marine kit.
In the video it is running at about half speed which is about scale speed for this boat.

R.A.F. Crash Tender "On Board"
This is a video clip of my Fireboat at Southport boating lake in June this year.
The idea of an on board cam was thanks to another member who submitted a video last year of their Sea Queen (see video gallery), I liked the effect so thought I'd give it a go myself. it seems to have worked?

Vigilant Star owned by Gerry
Here is a video of our boat (Vigilant star) sailing at New Brighton boat lake on the wirral every Wednesday.
The boat is a semiscale (Coast Guard Cutter), designed by Hal-Harrison in Marine Modelling. I have doubled its size and put two 540/1 Mfa motors in, driving quanta 45mm props. She is 36" length 8" Bow, runs of one 12 volt 7Ah SLA battery.
It is made from Balsa/Fibreglass resin. Runs well no leaks to date. Gerry.

Sea Queen built by Robert Peberdy
This is a video of my re-make of the Aerokits Sea Queen. Build commenced in the autumn of 2006 and it was to be a winter build project for when the weather was too bad to fly R/C elec planes. The boat was finished mid 2007 and was launched in May.
My closest water to sail on is Lake St Clair, but one slip up and the boat's next stop would be Canada. its seen here sailing in the confines on an ornamental pond in Wahby Park, St Clair Shores, Mi, USA. The music has been added to cover up the sound of fountain just out of picture to the right.
The supplied motor has been replaced with an MFA Torpedo 850 which has substantially more power and 3x the RPM.
A week before the video was taken I lost the prop and its seen here running on a temporary prop while I awaited a replacement. The performance on the video is a little more sedate than normal.
More info & pics in the photo gallery

Completely refurbished Crash Tender
Six months on and the boat has been completely refurbished and is seen here operating the fire monitor at Branston Water Park.
The video clip was taken on the Fireboat Funday where many of these models were on display together with other Aerokit models.

My Fireboat!
This is one of the Aerokits models, however it has recently been stripped down to the wood to apply a fibreglass coating.
These video clips show the boat undergoing trials before being completly re-fitted.
