Because I have had to slow down with this build, I did not make many video recordings. I did have a couple which shows some of 3D printed parts for the pilot house being assembled.
(I am currently adding some more detail parts and getting ready to place the boat in a tub to trim it out.)

Building a Scale Model "Springer Push Boat" (Part 6)

Finally getting near the end! This video shows how I trimmed the model in water by adding ballast. The video also shows the final assembly (parts that are removable for repairy or maintenance).

Eight months after handing off my latest Springer to my son I finally had its launching day Sunday, June 1, 2025. Hurricane Milton was the big disruptor as the dock at our local county park was finally repaired.
I had installed a Flysky receiver in it. I was a little surprised when my son brought a different Flysky radio with him, on I haven't seen before, a FS-i6S. I need to do a little research on this transmitter. It has a retro (1930's style) look to it.
Took a little while to get it setup and do the binding. We didn't charge the battery but Mike had a spare. But I finally got it going and got it wet. Looked and sounded pretty good.
Will get better photos soon.
