I take it it's a nitro powered beasty. What size motor has it Martin?
I built one years ago. Was a 3' deep V offshore powerboat with a 10cc Merco. Went like the clappers and had a ton of lead in the bottom stopping it from going airbourne. Great fun but had nowhere to run her. Know if I had my RIB then I'd had taken her up Fareham creek or somewhere.
So when's the maiden voyage then?

We launched the new fleet at the marina earlier on. Unfortunately, due to engine problems (same frequency on both boats) we ended up towing the 2nd boat through the marina.

Swap the TX with the RX crstal, which will set them a 1 Mhz apart.

I have two of these. Excellent fun but I haven't had much chance to play with them.

They look cool.
Tried me V24 in the bath and it really has got some go!
Can't wait until I get near some proper water to give it a go.
Thinking of putting a little cradle on the deck of me Rib so I can transport it down to Priory Bay in da summer
