Another loft find. Bought for £15 as a very delapidated static model. Converted for RC. Many new parts required and complete repaint from deck up. Up for sale as I have too many boats. Sorry you are to late the boat has been sold.

Cheap buy as it had been in the loft for years.
Most of the glue had failed and many parts lost. Totally resprayed or hand painted from deck up. Powered by to monoperm motors. Now finished it is up for sale. Now been sold.

This was a precedent 49 inch kit that I made during last year. I wasn't at all Impressed with the kit. The precut plywood parts were cut with knife blade tools and the tools were obviously past their sell by date. The shapes were very poor. if I make another kit I will make a point of looking for a laser cut hit.
Having said that I am pleased with the outcome.

The bit I can't understand is that I was running the boat on 14.4 volts. I did nothing yet it cut out on the lipo at 3.3 volts per cell which would equate to 16.5 volts. if it had been programmed to do this it wouldn't have worked at 14.4 volts. its as if it had auto programmed itself.

HI Les
There are default settings in most ESCs and they change when you select a different type of battery. if you selected LiPo it recognised 5 cells and auto set a 3.3 v cut off. My latest LiPo 5000 suggests a cut of voltage of 3.4 volts so I suggest you look on the battery cover to see the recommendation. The higher power batteries are very low internal resistance and I believe this is why they suggest a higher cut off.
So yes your observation is correct

A 1:12 scale model of a Thorneycroft RAF launch, length 43in., beam 12.5in Suitable for 2.5cc upwards. Excellent for R/C. Completely detailed on two large sheets.

I built this Range Safty Launch two years ago and I am now changing the hull paintwork to also include a water line. I never got around to doing this for some reason.
Range Saftey Launch
I purchased the plans for this model after my late father passed away, he too was building this model but failed to finish it before he died. My father was an Ex RAF Patrol boat pilot, hence the design was appropriate. The plans (Two sheets) are really well presented and easy to use. Each of the sheets provide ample detail to construct the basic model and if you are an experienced builder then these should suffice. However, a little research may be required to put the final touches together for the completed model (If you are a perfectionist like me). These plans are suitable for a novice as a first time project. This being my first attempt at a scale model. The boat once completed sails really well. I fitted mine out with electric motors, speed controller etc and when on the water a few heads turned! Fantastic plans GO FOR IT! Roy McCluskey

Only plated a 6ft model of a The Bismark over a wooden form previously using tin plate and all soldered together but this system using drink cans sounds interesting and will try out a few test plates first. I assume you replicate the rivets by centre punching the can segments from the underside before fixing to the hull. The 'Ross Tigers' hull is 4 ft long so it may become an interesting project.
