The boat as yet is in need of quite a bit of TLC. it was originally used to run-in aero glow engines for aircraft use. it then languished in a loft for about 15 years. After looking at it, I was going to re-motor it with a 12v mabuchI motor I found in a drawer in my work shop. That motor is probably the same age as the boat but does run I have tried it. I hooked the whole thing together after greasing the prop shaft and used a direct drive coupling. Powering it with a 2Ah 7 cell nicad. The noise was supprising but everything held together and the prop wash seemed as if it would go. As yet that is as far as it has got, and it has been put back in the loft. I may well look at it again next summer. I would like to get it going if only for my grand children to see. The problem is that although my main hobby involvement is aircraft I would have to get a different radio set up, yes?.

Thank you for the e-mail
