    Amazing info, thanks so much.
    That explains how I could afford the boat but not the RC gear.

    Hi Richard,
    Somewhere between 30 and 35 bob I guess.๐Ÿ™„
    See attached original Aerokits advert from the sixties.
    Around the time that my Dad bought the slightly larger Sea Scout for 35/-. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
    My recent Blog of her renovation and updating to brushless is on this site.
    Look for Sea Scout Jessica.
    Cheers, Doug ๐Ÿ˜Ž
    Young at heart ๐Ÿ˜‰ Slightly older in other places.๐Ÿ˜Š Cheers Doug

    My first ever attempt at building a โ€œRCโ€ model boat was in 1972 with an aerokits? Sea Hornet.
    I fitted it with an ED marine diesel but at the time could not afford the RC gear. I seem to remember that a single channel transmitter was around ยฃ16 and I was earning ยฃ70 a month!
    I see that SLEC offer an updated kit for ยฃ80 and I am very tempted to revisit those early building days.
    I am very curious about how much the first kit would have cost back then and wondered if anyone would have that information?
