GVMBC Night Sail 29/03/17
A good evening's sailing. Boats looked better the darker it got.

Hull is from boot sale. Turbine is 3" dia and is driven by twin boilers. I made them both. Speed is not blistering but it goes !!! Boiler pressure is 100lb/sq in. Les Breame

I acquired this boat part built some months ago through Dave M.
I have not put too much scale in detail but I am quite pleased with the overall finish. it is powered by two brushless 1250KV out runners and in the first sea trials I used 12v lead acid batteries. (That video was posted a few weeks ago - mdlbt.com/26793).
This video shows its second sea trial after I was persuaded to use lipos. The difference in performance is very pleasing.
Thank you Dave M for your help and advice during the build.

hello MBWs A little project im currently working on which may possibly change everything its a non aspirating zero emissions adjacent combustion two stroke submarine propulsion system its self sustaining and its fuel is good old H2O! yes I know you probably think im mental and youre probably right but ive had the test bedder running.

Scratch built model of New Zealand Frigate completed 17 years ago
Sailed well but now ready for refit with new engines and more modern RC fittings
Will complete a Build Blog when I commence the refit

These 3 boats are scratchbuilt by 3 separate builders. Renown was only recently launched. All are 1/72 scale.

Built this Wave Princess 30 years ago meaning to use it with my children. Languished in attic since and now retired going to resurrect her for Grandchildren and would welcome any advice on motor size, prop shaft length, Propeller size etc etc. Picked up an as new MacGregor Digimac 111 transmitter receiver and servos at Boot Sale for £5, seems fitting I should use it for the old girl.

She has full fpv from the wheel house with a 360 spin HD camera and have even put a digital amp meter so u can look at to and see how mUchida power u have left full running lights controls off hand setc to twin brushless motor water cooled and a large 100 amp esc with air fan and own power supply going to take her out tomorrow for her maiden voyage.
