RC Sailing :- Clyde Pilots
Here we have two terrific RC models of the Motor Vessel CUMBRAE built by two Buxton Model Boat Club Members - No1 is Blue belonging to Roger and the second belongs to Paul..
The original vessel was built by George Brown & Co in 1936 for Clyde Pilotage Authority, Glasgow.

    Two very smart, well built boats and a pleasure to see current boat club activities after all this time, Oh that the same applied in Wales.

    I was referring to the first one in your video clip with the white superstructure.

    Hi Kevin. I haven’t seen the owner of that vessel recently but I recall he said it was running on a brushless motor as used in motorised skateboards powered by 12v SLA battery with a 60mm prop. Hope this helps

Century Yacht - another oldie !
This Century Yacht belongs to BMBC Dave and was revived after many years in the loft ! - Seen here on her more recent inaugural sailing - certainly sails better here than up there !. ⛵

    A couple of the local sailors have that yacht. Seem to sail well and they get a lot of enjoyment out of them.

AIRBOAT ON A BETTER DAY
Made a few adjustments, including alloy braces for the motor pylon (was a bit flexible and I think it was twisting slightly under power. Rudder linkages still need tightening up (crappy HK clevises,-probably will fit ball links) but it was a bit better this time (apart from a high speed excursion into the rushes at the end,-no damage, got in the shadow and brain couldn't calculate time, angle and distance😁) Battery was down to 7.5v/cell after all this (4000mAh 3s) so not a bad run time. Only had full throttle for about 3 secs total, -too hairy!😁 Put in expo and dual rates but that didn't do much (too much rudder slop to be accurate). Back to the mod shop.

HMS Victory display model.
Brought another model a HMS Victory this is for display only on a shelf above my television, She was built by a good friend of mine who told me it took him quite a long time to build it, I can believe him as it is a beautiful model.

    Hi, I actually have a converted Skippy with an R&R model engineering WTC, your's looks massive. Looks like the linkages will be short and hard to get in.
    I attached a video showing my setup.
