About this boat

A pilot ship built by Graupner in 1987 and brought to life again this year!
Picture nr. 4 is the original from Graupner. I rebuilt my boat a bit, it was too simple for me,
with stand and headlights that can be switched on and off.
Data and pictures will follow . . .
Greets Mike

PS: The second last picture is actually the original from Graupner. So you can see what I have changed. My boats shouldn't be 0/815 models.

    Hello model friends,
    The repair on this boat has been successfully completed and is now ready for the test run.
    I have also replaced the controller with a Spektrum DX4e.
    This means that my grandchildren and family members will be able to cruise around when other of my boats are already in the water.
    Now the sailboat will experience the same, but there are a few problems to be solved.
    Swiss motto: “Grind abe and dure”
    translated for you : “Head down and through!”
    Until the next report, see you there

    Your Michel-C.

    Hi Alessandro,
    This is a relay for the lighting etc, from the 1980/90s, you could buy it from Conrad and assemble/solder it yourself!
    Why remove it? It still works perfectly!

    Hi Mike, great family boat.
    What are those ICs behind the potentiometers and between the capacitors on the bow for?

    Hello everyone!
    First of all, a Happy New Year to all of you with all the trimmings !!
    Tonight I finished my radar project. Because of the lack of space I had to think about how and where I should place the engine. Since the last space in the fuselage is fully booked, the cabin had to believe in it.
    In any case, it was a tinkering with success.
    Years ago, I removed the motor with reduction from a decommissioned credit card reader, so that the radar's concentricity only roughly corresponds to 1.5V = fed.
    See for yourself. . .
