Model of quarterwheeler Lulonga.Smilar ships sailed along African rivers, were built in the UK, France and Germany.Usually they used to be smaller paddle steamers with a little draught.
The owners and builders wouldn't let me have a set of lines, so, I designed this myself on Delftship from photos available on the web.
The hull is plank on frame, driven by twin 900 size motors off 12v. She has an action twin esc and mixer which enables her to pivot on her own axis without the need to use the bowthruster

- tompallisterPetty Officer 1st ClassIt is a "Model Slipway" Kit and is listed on their web site ( www.modelslipway.com ) as Yorkshireman as this was the sister tug. The basic kit costs about A£270 and running gear, bow thrusters, fire monitors and radio gear costs about another A£250. The kit is really for those with modelling experience as it has a few challenges for the inexperienced. Hope this helps
Boat is 1/16th scale - twin motors with a mixer.
She is powered by two car heater motors, with a Marx luder bow thruster. I have used an Action kit motor mixer, it works well.
These photos were taken at the Chantry club lake, at the Bluewater shopping centre in kent.
- chugalone100CommodoreTerry:
Do you have a hatch to access the rudder linkage?
How do you keep it sealed to prevent water from sliding in?
Can you post some pictures?
Thank you

This started its life as a broken hand vacuum cleaner. Opened up there are two squirrel cage fans. He obtained pictures, sale data, amd small GA drawings from a Hovercraft Museum and was able to scratch build.
It has twin motors operated through mixer and two ESCs, steerable fire monitors plus nav lights, deck lights, flasher, fire pump, siren, rear mast lights and serch lights operated from the transmitter via a Digiserv unit.
