Thanks for the video. A some fine collection of boats on the water. The rowboats have to be an extremely difficult build.

Hi Chum444

There is a full blog for one of the rowboats shown in the video here:

Some photos of how I have laid out the various components in the compartments. I have my Lipo battery mounted laterally against the bulkhead in the cabin at the rear of wheelhouse (battery not shown). The battery is placed between the water-cooled ESC and the bulkhead. They are held in place with velcro as well as the extra battery box and RX box. I'm using a 3 bladed prop with a pro drive 35-42 brushless motor with a Viper 50amp water cooled ESC. The battery is a 3 cell 2200mah 11.1v Overlander battery. The RX is held in foam in an old business card plastic case along with a electronic switch to switch on the spotlight. In the aft compartment with the rudder is a 6v AAA battery box for the searchlight. When not in use, I keep the lipo battery in a fire proof bag inside a metal petty cash box for safety!😊

Thanks for the photos. Will study them as my build nears that stage.👍

Wow that was great & no damaged boats incredible 👍

That looks good fun Garth, gonna try and get my club to do a balloon race👍👍👍

The 1:1 fantail launch that inspired TICKER. TICKER is a one lunger diesel launch ( tick, tick) restored by & owned by Quissett Boatyard; an historic & iconic old-time boatyard around the “corner” from Woods Hole.

A few more photos of TICKER

There are for each. Are you on RCG stateside? If there is enough interest here I will post links to build logs. But, I don’t want to be boorish.

Actually I am.
Not at all Boorish. The more info the Better. 😊😊😊

Mini tsunami

Hi wunwinlo
This was built by another club member and sold on when he finished sailing models so we do not have the plan. It is a model of a Sea Plane tender and was probably built in the 1960's. It could have been a kit from the Maycraft stable or even Veron but also possibly built from a plan in Model Boats or its predecessors. Doug replaced the brushed 550 motors with two 2028 brushless arounf 1000Kv with scale 3 blade brass props and 11.1v LiPo 2200Ma. Models from this period are very nostalgic and I look forward to seeing your model some time in the future,
Cheers

Thanks for the info on your model, Dave. I thoroughly agree that the 50/60's models of the 'RAF Navy' vessels have a lot going for them. There's nothing nicer than a planing hull and two hot brushless!
