Chief Petty Officer 2nd Class
1 / 2
My grandfathers ship USS Canopus AS-9 Submarine tender.
A long read but the pdf is the story of the USS Canopus and it's last stand at Corregidor. He was captured at the fall and survived the Bataan death march and after some time was shipped to Japan to work in a copper mine until liberation. He died in 1977 after retiring as a senior member of IBM.

Petty Officer 2nd Class
Predator Outrigger MK1 Outrigger Hydro
Built from a .PDF plan I found on the net, this 22" Outrigger Hydro sports a Hobbywing 3600Kv Brushless, along with a Hobbywing 60A esc, a 5000mAh 11.1v 45C LiPo, and an Octura X435 Prop connected to a Strudder from Prestwich models.. it weighs 930g without the battery, with the battery, she goes 1386g.
This was it's Maiden run, at Herbert Woods Boatyard, at Potter Heigham Norfolk. it ran very nicely, but can do with a little tweaking to get more speed.
For the record, I did not swear, it was someone onlooking.

    She's awsume, 😎 I think that from the way she ran I would have said the same 😭 . 🤐 How much more tweeting would she need?

    I have not played with the prop depth and angle yet, however, she has been banished to the back of the cupboard to make way for the MK2, to be re-visited a later date.
