Navigation lights.
New battery arrived eventually after yodel lost the first one. Ultra bright led navigation lights done ready for the illumination night running later in the year.

Recent progress boat fenders added.
The homemade boat fenders finally added to finish of the detail only the roof handrails to go and the name plate.

First run for 2018
First run of the new year with newly accuired 11.1V 6000mA Lipo battery.
Still need to get the balance right and move the 850 motor forward was hairy on turns nearly flipped it over perhaps cut a bit off the rudder.

- It wasn't my best video because of trying to do it my self and control the model. I will try again after moving the motor back a bit. Few people perhaps interested in the performance of these old Brushed motors MFA850 so I will do it.Liked by Donnieboy
- Hallo 'Mum', nice work, keep it up 👍👍👍
Power to you to your needles! 😉
All the best, Doug 😎Liked by figtree7nts

More running in at Bournville.
Dennis The Menace, the captain at the helm strikes again, after a radio outage the cockpit ended up full of water up to his waist. Some fresh paint need on the bow. Need to find out why the speed controller without warning goes mad. Tio Marine 50A ESC and fly sky receiver paring.

- I had understood that this was an 'old motor'. Could have meant decades!

But an extra .047 across the terminals won't hurt.
Re: Fail Safe; a common problem as 99% of sets are pre-programmed for the Fly boys. First thing I do with a new set is delete all the presets for fixed wing / Heli and reprogramme to do what I want and on the stick, switch or knob that I want. Throttle Fail Safe on a plane is often equivalent to throttle stick right back since plane ESCs don't go in reverse the motor just stops. Can have some interesting effects on a boat ESC with reverse though !!!😲 Happy Trialling 😎 - Update from MFA Como The motors, as they are, sufficiently comply with CE regulations for electrical emissions. However, sometimes with radio control you may need the extra suppression to stop radio interference.
Initially try one capacitor across the terminals, this is usually a 0.22uf.Liked by RNinMunich

MFA 850 motor
On closer inspection of the MFA850 motor I can see 2 caps in side the motor connected between the terminals and the motor body / can. The only thing I can add is an additional capacitor of 0.047uF connected between the terminals as belt and braces. Otherwise move the aerial and hope no more paint accidents happen.

Additional supression added.
Following on from comments here and a mail from Como MFA i've added a 0.22uF Cap to the motor terminals. Hopefully that will see the back of the uncontrolled mounting the side of the pool disasters.

Last nights running on the anniversary of my Dads birthday, we started to boat together but it then sat on the shelf for over 30 years.
Now finished by me and my mom, we sadly didn't finished it together dad.
Forgot to mention adding the capacitor across the motor seemed to fix the RC problem last experienced.
