Steam Launch with Outboard Motor!!
A test post on behalf of redpmg.
The engines are built by a mate of his.
"The boats are built by a 90+ year old gent by the name of Alan Raubenheimer, who used to make Rose Pop Pop Boats - used to advertise in MB etc.
Now into his 90s he has finally given up production."
Here goes🤞

It woiks 😊; just ignore the 'Invalid file' notice and click the blue magnifying glass and then the download button.
Run with Windows Media Player.
When it opens Press F11 for full screen or drag a corner with the cursor to enlarge.
Resolution is not too good I'm afraid🤔
Despite the music the action takes place in SA not Hawaii!😉

PS 8.5.20. Video fixed and enhanced a little 😀😎

    Learn something every day. I have not heard of a model steam outboard before. Very nice little boat.

    Hi Doug, I finally figured out how to open this - it was well worth persevering with, this has a real feel good factor especially with the music and I like his R/C, and a steam outboard engine - brilliant.

Airboat mods, changed to twin rudders
Changed from the single rudder to twin rudders (came up with a solution without going shopping) and have better steering now (probably too good😀) might need to reduce movement in the TX set-up. Will behave differently on the water as in the vid it's on a 30deg slope making it hard to steer, plus the slippery plastic strapped to the hull. Does good donuts though!😁

    Looks like you’re having fun!! Airboats are tricky little beasts aren’t they? I have a little Hobbyking Swamp Dawg which is okay, but in windy weather she’s all over the place.

    Hi Cash, lots of fun, and hopefully we are allowed out next week (lockdown to level 3 from 4)
    so might be able to do some drifting with a bit more space on the big sports grounds.😁 Bit confined in my yard due to full size boats, trailers, trees etc, too much to hit😁

    I bet the Kids go nuts when they see it.
    I like things that are a little different.
    Would like to see it on the water.

    Uhhh..y’know, I’ve got friends that, if they saw that thing in the water they would try to catch it, clean it, cook it and eat it!!🤣

AIRBOAT TEST (OR BACK YARD DRIFTING)
Taped some plastic on the hull to protect it and took it for a skid round the back yard, (you can see boredom is setting in😀). Can't wait to try it on the big sports fields (maybe bolt some wheels on it😁) and the big estuary down the road. Bit loud at the mo due to the wooden prop. More than enough power! Could do with more rudder travel and maybe a bit more area.

    Hi Jb,

    Ref:- "I was thinking of you and chuckling as I was typing that Martin"

    With a bit more practice you will be a master at making something out of nothing LOL!!!

    Then the word "eureka" will be a common saying in you'r house, and you will have to lower your workshop seat as your wallet will also benefit.

    Hi JB,

    Looks like a lot of fun.
    But, wouldn't it be better on a pond! LOL.....
    OK, when you can go to the pond!

    Cheers, Ed

Tug titch
Super tug and steering wonder. Bought as a kit and made from wood and plastic.
There was no instructions, and without them a nightmare.eventually getting them put the basics into perspective, eventually building the boat.i changed the motor to a 480 and made my own propshaft on the lathe, also a brass rudder, which is operated by mini servo.The esc is a 10 amp m.troniks which works great small but powerful, turns in its own length to port and starboard either astern or forwards

    A sort of early, round Springer😉
