This was the 1-35 scale plastic model kit and converted to RC 3 props 2 working port and the starboard the centre is non running. Due to weight I used a 11.7 lipoly battery so it's fast but the running time is only about 20 30 mins
It won best in show in the navy boat section at our club due to the detail and the figures so can't be bad

This model of a German North Sea FishingTrawler was built from a Graupner kit in January 1974. The crew are South American, the dog Welsh the owner English and her home port is Maldon. She is powered by a 6volt 400 motor coupled with a Viper 15amp controller and my Spectrum radio outfit. The 6volt 10 amp gel cell also acts as ballast.

my first attempt
Hey Mates,
This is my first attempt at stick building a boat. it's a DUMAS (model 1203) 33" 1:16 scale Coast Guard lifeboat. Am learning OTJ (on the job)....
The kit is approx 6-7 years old found it on EBAY for $77 USD. Nice wintertime project.
Happy Trails.....

    BRAVO ZULU! WELL DONE. The USCG 44' Motor Lifeboat was my first RC endeavor as well, in 1989. My latest is a Barracuda RC Boats 1:12 USCG 52' Type F Wooden Motor Lifeboat. Can't wait for 2018 navigation season!

Scratch built to 1/24th scale this is a model of a famous coastal barge built in 1904 at Mistley for the Horlock fleet. Sailed to victory in the1928 Thames Barge Match with Chub Horlock at the helm she won five "firsts" in her one race - a feat never achieved before or since. You can read about this exciting race in Chub's biography "Mistley Man's Log". S.b.VIGILANT can now be seen at Topsham in Devon where she is under extensive restoration.

    Damon, I suggest you look at the website of AMBO - the Association of Model Barge Owners for more information also the excellent site of Ivorbittle.co.uk where you will find all the information you are likely to need about building a model barge. incidentally its the sails that are radio controlled on my model, not the mast! it is flat bottomed but has a detachable keel weighing 3kg. The overall weight is 6kg. Good hunting!
