Hubertus model boat club 22.3.20

This video is taken from 2 different vessels with cameras, there are multiple salvages and a few crashes 😊

This will be the last video from Hubertus for an unknown amount of time due to the CoronaVirus my Government has shut down all nonessential services including clubs.

That was very nice really enjoyed the video. Would like to do something similar to share on what we do in the States.

thanks, mate, the Action cameras are pretty cheap and are good quality. I just put some clips from the day together.

Ally Pally show Jan 2020

Just a short video of some of the boats at the show, camera battery let me down, but you might recognize a couple of the boats that were there.

Cheers, Pete

MORE SMOKE USING 2 AIR PUMPS ON THE ALLOY SMOKE BOX

Still waiting for a better air pump so thought I'd try whacking 2 pumps on and upping the voltage from 2 to 2.5V Works a lot better but smoke still a bit slow. If I blow gently into the air tube I get massive clouds of smoke (hence the need for a better pump) Sorry about the crappy vid,- camera lens has a cloudy spot and not so good inside.

Jb,
It is a little difficult to see the smoke against the wood bench top.

re - It's mainly the lens which is a bit cloudy Martin . I scratched it and tried to polish it out, DUH! Need a better vid cam.
Might do some more on a sunny day. Certainly puts out some serious smoke though!

Stevenage MBC IC boats

Busy Sunday with 6 members bringing IC boats to the lake. Onshore & offshore footage of the thrills and spills using GoPro cameras on the boats.

R/C Cam Boats

Using the Hobbyking Swamp Dawg as a platform for my Gopro action camera.
Managing slide, drift and wind rotation was a challenge in varying conditions, to help tame the beast we tried a few basic options !.

Now all you need is the FPV system! Nice fix.

36" Maiami Crash boat used for camera boat.

Made this in about 6 weeks for my son who was not interested so I now use it for general on water filming etc. It was scratch built from a few photos and is all balsa construction, sealed and painted. Powered by a single 12v 380 motor with a 28mm 3 blade prop. Runs flat out at around 15,000 rpm.

I haven't run nitro boats for a number of years now Doug, same with the planes, everything has been converted to electric long ago, (all the nitro planes included.) No more mess and smell of burnt fuel in the house, no having to take a roll of paper towels and soap sprayer and wash your plane or boat before putting it in the car, and no more having to put a plastic 'nose bag' on the planes to hang them up so you don't get oil dripping on your carpet!
Re- Graupner 'Premium Line', certainly sounds like their quality has dropped, you couldn't fault them in the 70s, gone the way of all the others due to competition from the home of Oolong tea by the sound of it.

"everything has been converted to electric long ago"
Know what you mean John.
I've still got a 5ltr canister of pepped up glow fuel kicking about in the cellar.
Probably degenerated into uselessness by now🤔
Maybe I'll stick in the car or use it to start the barby😊

Re Premium line-
Belfast wasn't so bad, but had the same crappy plastic props held on with grub screws.
So she's getting threaded shafts and brass props from Raboesch 😉
On Graf Spee though I noticed a lot of resin casting faults, evidence of air bubbles and smudged detail, as well as over / under-spray in the painting and lifting of the wooden decks.
Had to inject liquid CA glue round the edges to stop it peeling ☹️😠
Best thing on both ships were the faultless hulls with double skinning!😉
One thing surprised me with Belfast though-
the recommended SLA batteries don't fit! I couldn't get them in any which way 🤔
Not to worry, they go in my 1:72 destroyer with ease 😊
BTW I prefer lapsang souchong 😋
