- roycvFleet AdmiralHello my one is still in the white I have not found a colour scheme and deck detail I would like to use. They do sail very well I remember talking to the designer before he re-kitted them for RC.Hello my one is still in the white I have not found a colour scheme and deck detail I would like to use.

- dave976CaptainHi wunwinloHi wunwinlo This was built by another club member and sold on when he finished sailing models so we do not have the plan. It is a model of a Sea Plane tender and was probably built in the 1960's. It could have been a kit from the Maycraft stable or even Veron but also possibly built from a plan in Model Boats or its predecessors. Doug replaced the brushed 550 motors with two 2028 brushless arounf 1000Kv with scale 3 blade brass props and 11.1v LiPo 2200Ma. Models from this period are very nostalgic and I look forward to seeing your model some time in the future, Cheers Dave976

Dave976Liked by Ray - wunwingloPetty Officer 1st ClassThanks for the info on your model, Dave. I thoroughly agree that the 50/60's models of the 'RAF Navy' vessels have a lot going for them. There's nothing nicer than a planing hull and two hot brushless!Thanks for the info on your model, Dave.

Record Day at Sonstraal Dam
Here is a look at the boats at Sonstraal Dam, home of the Northern City Model Boat Club, where on 26 February the Annual Record Day hosted by the Western Cape Model Boat Club brought more than 140 boats to the dam.
While some were just floaters, and some sank trying, there was a good collection of models actually in action.
One of them was the 1,5m Steam Tug, Miamota
The video was taken with an iPhone mounted in front of the bridge of the Smit London Tug boat with LOA of 1.7m

All the rigging had retained it's strength but the plastic supports for the outside hulls were a bit bendy. This was reinforced both internally and on the surface. Lining up the hulls was a problem not quite right yet but not apparent when sailing.
Still using 27Mhtz and very effective, the model is at least 30 years old the plastic has not deteriorated. She was made by my son and he can usually get the best out of a sail boat. Now migrated onto full size yachts and Australia!
I hope she is a reminder for the HFM followers, I have a nice working 575 and my late friend John Cook built his Thames barge, a nice size and now retained by his widow. I bought the basic hull and lee-boards from Harvey for just £2.00 at the now gone exhibition at Sand Down Park.
