In luck - found a copy locally in a charity shop . Unbelievable as model boat related magazines have not been available here since 2005. Must have been someones subscription copy.

I didn't give it much thought when I said tap off 2x6volt in parallel. I will probably use small 4s lipo to power lights etc. Thanks fo pointing this out. Still a long way from installing ancillaries.
