Taped some plastic on the hull to protect it and took it for a skid round the back yard, (you can see boredom is setting in😀). Can't wait to try it on the big sports fields (maybe bolt some wheels on it😁) and the big estuary down the road. Bit loud at the mo due to the wooden prop. More than enough power! Could do with more rudder travel and maybe a bit more area.

Super tug and steering wonder. Bought as a kit and made from wood and plastic.
There was no instructions, and without them a nightmare.eventually getting them put the basics into perspective, eventually building the boat.i changed the motor to a 480 and made my own propshaft on the lathe, also a brass rudder, which is operated by mini servo.The esc is a 10 amp m.troniks which works great small but powerful, turns in its own length to port and starboard either astern or forwards

This video has the Whaler Rau IX. she's one of my mate's models and is really nice

Commentary from Dave

This video is taken from 2 different vessels with cameras, there are multiple salvages and a few crashes 😊

This will be the last video from Hubertus for an unknown amount of time due to the CoronaVirus my Government has shut down all nonessential services including clubs.

Having put cameras on a few of the model boats I compiled them into this video

This 'Whaleback' boat is a 1/16th scale Air Sea Rescue Launch that was built by a friend of mine Graham. It is powered by a Turnigy brushless motor and Lipo Battery

Just needed to put a short video of one of the fellows in the club that almost sank his model .

My Model Boat club put on a show two weeks ago and videoed Harley Quinn with my iPhone which is kind of difficult while running the boat because the pusher boats were being run by the kids and I had to avoid them.
