well Is there any one out there that can help I bought a aero naut model of the scharnhorst from a Friend. I have always wanted a battle ship and as he was selling It off cheap I got It. now everything was going till I came to the super structure and now I can not work It out as there are so many round about things Its hard to do. has anyone done one and If so can anyone help.

Please tell us about the motor you have placed in the fishing trawler? Is it geared? Brushed? I use only brushed in my vessels.

Which motor is it #? Glad you are using NiMH and not those hot ones, far safer when charging!

By hot ones, I was referring to the batteries. The type slips my mind, but they are ones you must be careful charging or they could cause a fire. LiPo?

Did you say in an earlier post to the group that you recently retired? You just started building four years ago?

What line of work?

Are you mostly a kit builder?

I retired in 2015 after 20+years as an educator. Mostly teaching in high school here in Ontario, Canada. Technological Design, with AutocadLt as one of our tools in our tool box. Also did Fine Woodworking, Construction, and various none tech classes. My B.A. is in Music...percussionist.

I built mostly plastic kits for a hobby, but dappled in rubber-powered indoor/outdoor model airplanes. I sponsored a model plane club at school flying catapult gliders, and free flight rubber motored airplanes. Some of the members hold Canadian records in the under 18 categories. It was fun!

After retiring is when Rc model building of boats became my hobby. Starting with the Dumas Carol Moran kit, an 18” model which my grandson helped to build and paint. We thought it “Big” until we put it on the pond and realized it was a calm water only vessel.

My family bought me a 42” RC sailboat which was a retired racing model. The owner knew I was not going to be entering competition with it, so he sold it at a bargain! It was my first sailboat and a joy to sail.

Since then, I have gone on to build two scratch model sailboats, both drawn up on CAD first. Also, added to the fleet are two scratch built tugboats.

There is more to write, but this is getting rather lengthy...

This is why I do mostly scratch building...far less expensive!

Hi T33CNO.

Thank you,
I will pass information this on to Stephen (Fireboat) Site owner.
He will add it to the To-Do list and hopefully he will fix this issue soon.
