- NerysFleet AdmiralYour Speedline model barge looks very good in the water and looks as if she is sailing extremely well. I've always thought that this design was a bit small to carry three headsails, but looking at yours, I think I must revise my opinion. Would like to see her competing in the AMBO class for 30" barges. She would qualify despite being shorter.
Cheers, Nerys

Had a full sea trial last week, delighted with all results, please see video. Best results on throttle just about half speed ahead, but much more fun on full speed.

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi CP,
Put the video up again.
Even if the icon says 'Invalid file' we know how to view it!😉
55 mins is a very long time for an upload!?😮
How big is the file?
If it's toooo big it may have exceeded the server limit for Uploads.
In which case the way round it is to first upload it to You Tube and then post the You Tube page link (URL) here.
Cheers, Doug 😎Liked by Martin555

RC Sailing :- Clyde Pilots
Here we have two terrific RC models of the Motor Vessel CUMBRAE built by two Buxton Model Boat Club Members - No1 is Blue belonging to Roger and the second belongs to Paul..
The original vessel was built by George Brown & Co in 1936 for Clyde Pilotage Authority, Glasgow.

Kevin - Harvey KittenChief Petty Officer 1st ClassHi Kevin. I haven’t seen the owner of that vessel recently but I recall he said it was running on a brushless motor as used in motorised skateboards powered by 12v SLA battery with a 60mm prop. Hope this helpsLiked by Martin555

Century Yacht - another oldie !
This Century Yacht belongs to BMBC Dave and was revived after many years in the loft ! - Seen here on her more recent inaugural sailing - certainly sails better here than up there !. ⛵

AIRBOAT ON A BETTER DAY
Made a few adjustments, including alloy braces for the motor pylon (was a bit flexible and I think it was twisting slightly under power. Rudder linkages still need tightening up (crappy HK clevises,-probably will fit ball links) but it was a bit better this time (apart from a high speed excursion into the rushes at the end,-no damage, got in the shadow and brain couldn't calculate time, angle and distance😁) Battery was down to 7.5v/cell after all this (4000mAh 3s) so not a bad run time. Only had full throttle for about 3 secs total, -too hairy!😁 Put in expo and dual rates but that didn't do much (too much rudder slop to be accurate). Back to the mod shop.

HMS Victory display model.
Brought another model a HMS Victory this is for display only on a shelf above my television, She was built by a good friend of mine who told me it took him quite a long time to build it, I can believe him as it is a beautiful model.
