No worries. I use one radio capable of several different models, but only attempt operating one at a time. I do OK with right and left when the model is going away from me, but have to think when it's coming towards me. I can't imagine two at a time.

Sorry for the abreviaton I was thinking of one transmitter (tx) per model.
I recently tried 1 Tx 4 channel to run 2 models at the same time. You would need therapy after doing that! I put a 4 ch receiver (rx) in each and had the left stick for one model and the right stack for the other. Channels 1 and 2 for one boat and 3 and 4 for the other. I found I need to practice my left hand operation of one model before I attempt to do it again. The reactions are not what you expect! regards Roy ▲

Thank you Roy.
You're right, there can't be much more than a ripple on the surface of the pond, and nothing more than a light breeze either. One also has to be aware of wakes from other operators as well. Although these can be sealed to prevent any water getting inside, operating in adverse conditions takes some of the satisfaction out of the equation. On the positive side, a model of this size can be kept in a ready state in a special built box in the back of a car and at a moment's notice can be underway in any suitable small pond one comes across. There is a shallow water garden out back that is my wife's hobby. Although it's not deep or very large it's fine to put a boat this size over the side and operate for a few minutes. I tell her it's my therapy.๐ I'm sorry, I don't know "Tx's"? A few images of the boat in a small body of water. ▲

Hi I like your style! However the sailing of the boats has to have some very calm seas. Will you have a lot of Tx's as well?
