- CHamerleRecruitGreat seeing your model. I look forward to pictures of her underway. I served at the National Motor Lifeboat School in the '80's (30' SRB's and 44' MLB's) and Station Cape Disappointment (47' and 52' MLB's).Great seeing your model.

- circle43nauticalChief Petty Officer 2nd Classi have that same kit i bought just before my daughter was born in 1989. she is undergoing a "fleet rehab & maintenance"i have that same kit i bought just before my daughter was born in 1989. she is undergoing a "fleet rehab & maintenance" overhaul currently. actually the first true rc watercraft i started with, after a lifetime of building static models. that kit was of high quality, but has of course been discontinued some years ago. i transferred her from uscg lifesaving station manasquan inlet, new jersey, to uscg lifeboat station ludington, michigan, and changed the hull number from cg-44329 to cg-44345. i served in the uscg in nj, but always wanted to be stationed in ludington, mi. semper paratus!

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralMany thanks for the Turnigy tip👍 much cheaper than the 20 quid Action /Component Shop version 😉Many thanks for the Turnigy tip👍 much cheaper than the 20 quid Action /Component Shop version 😉 I hated wasting channels, and multi-channel sets were horrendously expensive😡 so many many 🤔 moons ago I made my own 4 function switch decoder for my destroyer, home made PCB, a few 5V CMOS chips, driver transistors and 5V 5Amp relay outputs. Pics 1, 2 & 3. Gave 4 functions Nav lights, Signal Lamps flashing, Whoop Whoop siren, and smoke unit from one proportional channel. Still seems to work 30 years later!😊 Around the same time I added a winch for the crane on the stern deck and also made a home cooked PCB with a simple forwards / backwards motor driver; again CMOS chips, driver TRs and relays. Pics 4 & 5. Pulled in well but there was no free-run mode on the winch so it needed something like a tin o' beans on the hook to run it out 🤔 . Lovely smelly etching for the PCBs 😆 Ferrous oxide!? Or was it ferric chloride? Never did like chemistry, I was a physics man. But it worked😊 Most of the bits were sort of 'lying around' at work😉 BTW: if anyone needs CMOS or 7400 series TTL chips I still have pretty good stock! Nowadays it's all plug n play and such things are miniaturising so fast one day they'll disappear up there own whatsits! Back then half the fun was doing it yourself and squeezing the utmost out of a 2 or 4 channel radio. Happy days? 🤔 Cheers Doug (AKA Rambling Man😁)[{"id":"1510169667","name":"1510169667.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510169667\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510169667\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"},{"id":"1510169655","name":"1510169655.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510169655\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510169655\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"},{"id":"1510170934","name":"1510170934.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510170934\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510170934\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"},{"id":"1510170996","name":"1510170996.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510170996\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510170996\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"},{"id":"1510171010","name":"1510171010.jpg","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510171010\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/hobby.land\/media\/1510171010\/s","isImage":true,"ext":"jpg"}]

One of my first boats was an Aerokits Crash Tender powered by a Frog 2.49cc diesel. The radio was single channel, one press of the button for right rudder, 2 presses left rudder, press and hold for throttle.

- wunwingloPetty Officer 1st ClassI don't think that Her Majesty understood the principle of R/C. if you look carefully, you can see that she is the lady in the pale longish coat facing right. I think that she is holding the button box of a typical ground-based TX. She almost has her back to the model......My father worked as a scientist there and met many dignatories. His POW - learned German meant that he took Willi Brandt round the site on one occasion.I don't think that Her Majesty understood the principle of R/C. if you look carefully, you can see that she is the lady in the pale longish coat facing right.

Waverley underwent extensive refit and repairs at Gt Yarmouth here in Norfolk many years ago when I saw the paddles up on the quayside. Grand old girl still going strong.Truly a beautiful model.
