    This video is taken from 2 different vessels with cameras, there are multiple salvages and a few crashes ๐Ÿ˜Š

    This will be the last video from Hubertus for an unknown amount of time due to the CoronaVirus my Government has shut down all nonessential services including clubs.

    I thought it the most appropriate music for this RAF boat at speed. I too loved that film from the first time my Mum took me to see it at the Savoy cinema in Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) when it was first released in 1964.

    ๐Ÿ“ Delay timer for air pump on exhaust smoke for start-up effect.

    Working on this idea for a bit more refinement on the exhaust smoke idea. Graham mentioned these timers were worth a look, so I purchased a few from Ali Express for about 90c each. They work well for an off/on set-up but not quite as well for an on/off set-up. They are variable from 0-12 secs and have a lot of possible uses. I was trying for a puff of smoke at start-up (which in my application works in conjunction with the twin sound units (HSL and ST) and this initial test seems to work ok (bit of refinement with timing and air pump speed required yet). Already have the smoke going well but there's always a little morsel to add (ref Mr Creosote)

    I'll be using the small 5A voltage regulating bucks in the models (the ones shown are just for testing) with one 2s LiPo running 2 regs,- one for pump, and one through the timer for the smoke pen. You can see the timer working with no input from the TX in the vid, When fitted, both will be switched on/off simultaneously with the solenoid 'latching' power on/off, circuit (thanks to Graham for the layout) using the left stick.

    Re- She picked up speed pretty quickly for her size.
    She gets up and goes with 12,750 horse-powers' worth of 3 Bristol Proteus turbines Martin. Not to bad for 139ft ! Rather impressive with 41 knts on tap. Give a few small cars a run for their money!

    Hi Jb,
    She picked up speed pretty quickly for her size.
    As for electronic knowledge you don't do that bad at it Jb.
    I have almost next to no electronics knowledge i just tinker with bits and pieces and if it starts to smoke i then know i got it wrong LOL!!
    I have worked in the electrical and electronics industry all of my working life but i have not got a clue when it comes to designing and making circuits.
    My last eight years of working i was a surface mount operator and know what most surface mount components look like but i don't know how they work in a circuit.
    I suppose i should try and learn as i do have an Arduino kit with quite a verity of components and a bread board.

    Would be nice Martin if you could get that look (Swedish museums T56 with 3 diesel converted Isotta Fraschini W18 s ) but you could not do without that beautiful sound to go with the smoke๐Ÿ˜. Unfortunately my sound units don't stretch that far (plus the HSL had 3 W12 Sea Lions which had a sound of their own, and the ST had 2 Detroit 4-53s which also have their own sound.) Shame no-one makes a completely programmable sound unit so you could record your own sounds and make them throttle proportional.

    I'm not clever enough to get pulsing as well with my limited electronics knowledge, as it would involve quite a complicated set-up to go from start-up to pulsing to running and then tapering off at higher revs. Problem is there's no-one here to see it, even if I could achieve it, (perhaps I should move to the UK where there is a more model friendly community)๐Ÿ˜ BTW, one of the things on my list to do if I win Lotto, is go for a ride on one of the Swedish MTBs, (or their R142 Spica missile boat) would be an amazing experience! (have you seen the vid of the missile boat doing a burnout start ?)

    Excellent job on the HSL. Planked decks are terrific! Not too much info around to go on for detail for the 100 series, but there are still a number of photos around. I've built a 36"model of the RNZAF 100 series (W1, which is still around, albeit modified and still in excellent condition) but I wish I'd made it 40", as being a narrow hull with twin everything, it's a bit cramped for room. Where did you get your plan?, I had to use plan and elevation drawings from a 1975 Model Boats mag and blow them up to A4, modify them to the RNZAF type then blow them up to 36" but had little detail. Luckily there were a number of historic photos of this boat which was a big help with details (only given to me after I'd done most of the work๐Ÿ˜).

    Don't know about you but I found the lazarettes the trickiest to do. I was going to have the tops opening but it was far too fiddly. I've previously posted vids under HSL, of it running plus the latest exhaust smoke/water addition, myself and Graham 93 have been sorting. Quite a rare model subject by the looks of it, (only found about 5 models so far) but I think they're one of the best looking HSLs made (and certainly one of the fastest). If anyone else is thinking of building one I have some good photos for detail I can PM,

    looking forward to seeing the model on the water, should be quite impressive at that length!.

    Pic of the original RNZAF W1 (1940, watercraft 1) and as she is today in Auckland, (standard of workmanship evident in the galley, also fully air conditioned) with the model in front . Also a display model in an RNZAF recruiting office in 1948.

    Very pretty, think some oldtimers would be turning over in their graves to see sails those colours. Just imagine mixing those from ochres and cow urine then being blinded as you dressed the sails. What barge is that? is it the HFM kit?
