I have a Spektrum DX4C that I use for my fast electrics, and my Robbe San Remo, which is fast-ish. Only way to go once you start hitting some speed. It’s a 4 channel transmitter, but I’ve only used it on 2 channel applications so far.
Ed,
Sounds like that pistol grip will work great on fast boats, sounds logical. I have only sailboats and slow tugs so I'll stick with my stick setup. ( don't know if my pea brain could keep up with two systems! 🤕)

We're behind schedule!
The Post office.........

So, my Chris Craft boat will arrive by Tuesday or Wednesday!
Have started to bite my nails...... 😊😀😁😂🤣 LOL!

Regarding our USPS, it's funny I have had some things come much faster than expected! Only two times in the past two months have I received delay notices but they got here within 2 -3 days.
It's our taxes at work Ed, I keep supporting those workers that face covid everyday. Do you use the email notice service? It's great and I get daily emails on my package status. I always have about 4 items either coming or going and I like to track them all.
Good luck with your builds, they look like fun!

Well, my Christ Craft model.
Is delayed by I don't know how many days!
The postal service is running very slowly!
Due to Corona, so they say!
So, All I can do is wait patiently!
For my package to arrive!
I do have good news!
But, that's another Blog!
So, for now!
I'm just playing the waiting game!
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock!

I know the feeling Ed, time seems to slow down when your waiting for something you want, but not for when the bills are dropping through the letterbox Ha,Ha.😀
Look what arrived today!
My FlySky Wheel Controller!
It's a pretty decent looking controller!
All I did was put in some Double A Batteries!
Turned it on!
But, I need to order a Servo!
I'm not sure if the Christ Craft model.
Will use a standard servo.
Or an S9 servo!
My model is delayed!
So, I can't tell which servo to purchase!
That remind me!
I need an ESC as well!
But, will order in due time!
For now, I'm off to my 3D printer Blog!

You can probably use a full size servo if you mount it way over to one side. There isn't a lot of room between the underside of the aft deck and the hull.
Hi All,
Well, my Christ Craft Sports Fisherman model.
Is running late!
As a matter of fact.
It's currently lost!
And there looking for it!
An investigation has been started as to it's where about!
This has me panicked!
As, I paid handsomely for this model!
Hummm Tic Toc, Tic Toc!
This Sunday marks a month!
Since I ordered my Christ Craft Sports Fisherman!
No word yet as to where it is!
So, I am thinking that.
This coming Monday I should put in a Claim with PayPal!
Or should I just give it more time?🤕☹️😠!!!
Hi Ed,
Nope☹️ Unfortunately not.
A curious story!
A few days after ordering via Amazon/Paypal I received two messages from Amazon on the same day, within three hours.
First said 'Payment received, item has been despatched' and quoted the delivery window.
Second a few hours later said, 'Your payment has been refunded. Reason; Item not available.'
Checked on Amazon and seller sites to see 'Currently unavailable.'
When I ordered it was 'In stock' with delivery window quoted.
Sent Email to seller - No answer🙄
Checked Paypal account and read 'Your payment has been refunded before it was made.'
It don't get much stranger than that do it!🤔
Tried a few other leads, all dead ends☹️
So hacienda dat!!😭
Cheers, Doug 😎
Yay, My Christ Craft Sports Fisherman Model.
Is on it's way!
It was in a facility for about 1 month!
The postal service is now moving it in my direction!
I'm not sure when it will arrive.
But, it is on it's way!
And to think I almost put in a PayPal Claim!
I actually got in contact with the Merchant.
I purchased the model from!
I think I made him Panic!
As I threaten to put in a claim with PayPal!
But, now my Package is on it's way to me!
So, who's at fault the Postal Service!
That's Who!
Never the less, It's on it's way!
Looks as if I'll have a boat to build.
In the not to distant future!..........👍
My model finally arrived!
This model is from the early 50's!
It's in real good shape!
The last owner kept in in very good conditions!
The kit that is!
I think the Kit has more value unbuilt!
The kit makes for a very good collectors item!
Makes me think?
Hum, What if I don't build it!
Someone would want to buy forward!
Or is that sell it forward............
Hum, decision decsion???
Nah, Just joking!
Of course I'm going to build it!
I've been looking for this kit for a long time!
I finally have one!
Take my time building her!!!👍🚤

It all depends!
I'm really looking forward to the Christ Craft!
It would be a change from the Smit!
Maybe, I need a brake from the Smit!
