The spitfire was a working model but is too brittle for flight now but with some extra buoyancy is good as a ditched plane๐

I've been looking into uploads - the limit was set to 60MB, but there were server settings that might have prevented smaller files still.
Website storage is limited only by number of files and not file size, so I've increased the file upload size to 1GB. That is a massive increase! But, do bear in mind huge files uploaded have to also be downloaded... and I may need to look into warning users about attachment file sizes (and likewise video file sizes) before allowing them to be downloaded and viewed. Let's see how things go! Stephen ▲

Yes, the server kicks the upload out if the file size is too large. It tries to upload, fails, then as the file doesnโt exist in the next step, it only shows an invalid file type warning, even though MP4โs should be ok.
Iโd cut it down to a smaller clip, lower the resolution, or cut into multiple smaller clips. Not ideal; but I canโt allow a greater upload size unfortunately. Itโs why the option to link a YouTube video is available instead ๐ Stephen ▲

I was with friends at Hoylake boating lake yesterday and one of them has a Fairey Huntsman kit to build without instructions. Does Dave have the build instructions for his by any chance, such that he could share the information with us? So his kit can be built without too much guess work.

I hope that this helps; the plans show the rudder servo forward of the frame but I think it is better close to the rudder control arm. I use a NiMH battery laying beside the stuffing box and a counter weight on the opposite side. The original builder put a Y battery harness in so the boat could run off of two batteries for a longer duration. I just use one so as to give the brushed motor a rest .

Thanks to everyone who offered advice and encouragement.
I got bold enough to add a little (gentle) force, in an effort to access the area behind the rear seat. The seat and hatch behind it were glued in. I used a razor blade to trace the opening, in an effort to release any varnish that may have been holding it. That did not work, so I "encouraged" the rear seat to come loose, and applied some leverage to the hatch. I got both of them free without a lot of collateral damage, I may need to add some moulding around the hatch opening. BUT ... I successfully opened up the area where the shaft for the rudder is located. I feel much more confident that RC conversion will be successful now! Dave B ▲

Ronald,
Yeah, everything on the rear of the boat is stuck/glued tight. Whatever I do for access will require a bit of force. Thanks for the pictures, they will help a bunch. Ooops ... sorry I knew the correct spelling, but I guess my spell check didn't, LOL. I've fixed it. Our Miata is a 2015 25th Anniversary Model. It's our 3rd Miata, preceded by a 1990, & a 2008. Great fun cars! Dave B PS Is there gonna room in your luggage for a 240# 5'9" stowaway? ▲

Well, Ronald .....
As it happens We are going on an extended road trip with our Miata Club in August, for a Miata meet in Ottawa. We will be in Thunder Bay 8/11, Sudbury 8/12, Ottowa 8/13-8/19, and then heading south to the states and west towards home. The route for the trip home is not cast in stone, yet. So ... be careful what you offer, LOL Best Regards, Dave B PS, I can see where the hatch is/should be behind the rear seat. However I'm not sure if it is glued or just varnished in, but I have pried lightly and it is not coming out. That is one of the reasons I'd like to lay eyes on the build instructions .... ▲
