What type / amp rating controller are u using?

it's running 2 x 50amp resin sealed cheap controllers purchased on Ebay, but the motors only draw about 15Amp maximum with the Como-Drill motors, so really anything that would handle 20Amps would work. Look on Ebay there are plenty of people selling these controllers at about £20. the reason for TWO controllers is to allow the motors to run One Forward and One Reverse the life boat will then turn in its own length. You could just run a single controller and rely on the rudders to turn the model. Hope that this helps "Deswelham" regards Graham

where is the hayling lake? great lookng sub too

HI there, I obtained it in a garage clearance. I am going to get it up and running and considering the level of detail with controls etc I believe it will be stable. (I hope!!!) 😑

That looks like it's going to be great fun . Please keep progress updated :-)

HI Rooky

This is a bit late, just found your question. You model looks like an RAF whale back rescue target launch, from the 50's era

Many thanks Mark. I had given up hope finding the period of the craft. As yet, done nothing tto it,but will now start th e refurb, ready for next year.

Great looking boat, I had one of these several years ago, Northlight by Caldercraft, first kit boat I ever built, regret selling it!

Thanks. Must admit that it is my favourite. Sails like a brick but not into sporty boats, reactions far too slow
