Can't Find Stuff!
Had a thought that the leads might be in a unit in the spare bedroom where I keep all my chargers and a few other bits and pieces. No luck but I did find a battery charge and servo checker the same as one I bought a couple of weeks ago when buying the replacement motor!!!
But good news. They were in a box in the cupboard I'd only quickly looked at yesterday containing the water-jet for a future build and didn't expect to find them in there! Phew, I can get on with my Huntsman 31 again now.

Can't Find Stuff!
I know from seeing photos of some of your workshops that some of you guys are very organised when it comes to storing all your model making stuff.
I'm semi-organised in that I have a couple of small kitchen units, shelves and a number of plastic containers and pretty much know where things are but the problems tend to arise when I haven't done anything on my builds for awhile or need something in particular that isn't used very often and I forget where they are or what I've got!
A case in point being that over the last two days, on and off I've been looking for some servo extension leads for a build and know that I bought some of various lengths sometime ago. But can I find them! Looked in all the obvious places including a box with all my servos and motors in and other various containers but no luck. I'm going to have to pull everything out of the cupboards and if they are not there have to order some more, of course I will then find them!
Talking of my servo and motor box. As I've had a few builds going on over the years I keep a list of what was planned to go into the various builds e.g. motor, servos, ESC, battery etc. so that I could buy those in readiness and have some spare servos etc. Part of the reason for this is that I was caught out with some alloy motor motor mounts I liked to use when the supplier went out of business. I sourced some similar from China but the angle of the mounting is different and didn't suit the base for the the motor mount I'd already built into the boat. And with the Panama Canal delays we experienced a couple of years back I thought it a good idea to stock up on servos, motors and ESCs for present and future builds as I've pretty much standardized on manufacturers/suppliers for these. I took a flyer on what servos I needed and in going through the box now, which was previously in two boxes have realised that I have got a few more than I need, even with spares! And there's a motor in there which is the same as one I've recently bought for a replacement for my Huntsman 31 build! Doh!
Also, as I've added some more to my future builds and don't have the ESC's for those so I need to get some more. So I'm going to do a stock take, update my lists and get some ordered!
