PT109
1965 U.S. Lindberg Plastic Special Edition John F Kennedy P T 109 Boat. The P T 109 boat was mainly employed around the islands surrounding the Philippines, hence the reason why the boat was painted to match the background colours of these islands. Bought in a part built state and took me, with help and advice from other model boat guys, about 12 months to get it up and running. Powered by twin motors, shafts & props, with a single 8 cell 9.6 volt battery.

- daveyAble SeamanHello, Thankyou for your helpful advice, I have now decided to put in an electric motor in the boat so hopefully it will be up and running by the end of next week.Hello, Thankyou for your helpful advice, I have now decided to put in an electric motor in the boat so hopefully it will be up and running by the end of next week.
'HOWE' GY177
Built this year 2012 by Colin Burrows as a static model. Bought from him to make RC on 2.4. and currently fitted with a 600 motor that is too powerful, advise that was received from a fellow modeller, I am awaiting for a smaller unit to arrive to make it more authentic as it resembles a power boat rather than a trawler. Am also building a speed boat but have put out a request for wiring information as I have already blown up one speed controller!! lol.
I belong to a recently formed club sailing on the lake a Queens Park, Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire. New members would be most welcomed.

- Dave MVice AdmiralRealistic looking model. Low speed high tork motor would suit this. Model Motors Direct do a 555 which is excellent for most scale boats. What ESC are you using?Realistic looking model. Low speed high tork motor would suit this. Model Motors Direct do a 555 which is excellent for most scale boats. What ESC are you using? You can post details of your club in our Model Boat Clubs section, which should help any prospective members find you. 😀

Going to fit proportional steam simulator, fog horn and whistle, have already fitted sound generator representing the 3 cylinder steam unit that would have been in the real thing. if you have any experience in the electronics field I would welcome help on esc requirement to power twin graupner 700BB Turbo motors.Hi, I am using a Perkins 5510135 Marine 50amp esc and am awaiting a 25mm diam 300rmp motor from Hongkong to replace the Johnson 600 that is already fitted. it's a suck it and see job as I have no experience in the boating field my previous hobby was flying electric planes with lipo's and brushless motors.

- sharpy1071Chief Petty Officer 2nd ClassHI there thanks for your kind comments, I bought this camera from Hobby King for about £20.00 last xmas, it works really good in aircraft as well. On Sunday I thought I had it switched on, and then sailed through the fleet for about 45 minutes, but no I had press the button twice, hence switched it off. The batteries were getting low when this was filmed thats why the shortness of the film, I was just concerned to get the boat back before I ran out of electricty. For a bit of cheap fun I would recommend one because you can see your lake from a different angle, if any of you fly that is really good fun.Thanks BrianHI there thanks for your kind comments, I bought this camera from Hobby King for about £20.00 last xmas, it works really good in aircraft as well.
