Lights on the Mote

It was our club’s ‘lights on the Mote’ evening today. I think the day’s heavy rain kept many folk away but we did get a couple of hours where the weather was fairly clear. I took my Aeronaut Diva along, liberally decorated with cheap string lights that I got at Primark…

great idea to have a twilight run to see the boats with lights on in all their glory.

Renovation of a lovely old boat.

I decided to renovate a very old model Clyde harbour tug which belonged to my Dad. This has been in the family for over 80 years (Dad would have been 100 this year) and was in need of some TLC. It is now fully radio controlled and runs from 2 x 18650-2000mAh batteries. Length: 41cm, Beam:11cm, Draft: 6cm, weight: 1.5Kg.

According to the motor, ESC is underpowered. I needed at least A 60A ESC.
Here, let's have a look at it.

Hi Canabus. Thanks for this input. I went and checked out the Lesro Sportsman and the dimensions are a bit different... The Sportsman is 31" x 12" - This new model I have is 39" x 12"

Hey Trev..

There are pilots WAY better than me. I fly Scale, no aerobatics (my machines don't like aerobatics!!). Just like the Violin or juggling, they take perseverance and practice. I have been flying Helis for 40+ yrs now..

Found old photo First R/C model & Transmitter & Speed Control

This is a photo I found in a old album .It's my first R/C controlled model & I think it was a Billings tug The Sampson .The radio was a Cox Sanyo transmitter & Receiver . I had to get a C/B license back then to operate the radio . Years later I removed the deck & cabin & used the hull to make the North Rock tug boat . That's the speed control that I would have used back then.😊

I recall getting GRS licences for two "CB" mobile radios & a base station in the mid-70s, & also a licence for a 72 MHz $400 Cox-Airtronics 4-function radio system for 100"-span Standard-class gliders, using only rudder & elevator servos. I believe the licences were $19 /yr each back then.
In abt 1990 INDUSTRY CANADA narrow-banded the RC channels & therefore was able to add a few more channels. The service category also became licence-exempt, but type-approved radio apparatus, certified for use in Canada, was still a legal requirement.
By then CB radios were 40ch
