Lumba Lumba
She is a bit tender as the 12V battery makes her top heavy. If I lay it down she is bow heavy...will sort that out I redid the wiring and lighting

"Bionic Bill"
Graham Royle joined the Model Boat Website last summer, returning to modelling after a 45 year break. It was a display at Buxton Model Boat Club last year where he spoke with one of the members that got him started again.
Graham who is now a member of the Buxton Model Boat Club started his latest project "Bionic Bill", only 3 months ago at the beginning of lockdown.
What resulted is truly magnificent working model example of engineering, woodworking, electronics, perseverance and total dedication ! .
Well done Graham !.
PS - Remember, set video resolution quality to HD 1080p (Bottom right cog wheel).

A BIT MORE AIRBOAT FUN
A bit windier this time (10-15 mph) but it's not built to sit on a shelf, so having made a few adjustments I thought I'd risk it. It tried playing submarine a few times after a spin but handled the wind ok till trying to get back, - tried to weathervane back out, so ended up power on beaching. Lots of fun in the sun, -still more adjusting to do, ie get it steering straight by itself and limit the drifting slightly.

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralShouldn't be too much trouble Martin it if do it like the flash job. Looks like an accessory option that goes on as a unit.? I can get some thin alloy sheet at the hardware I think which might do, or even plastic sheet eg ABS or similar.Shouldn't be too much trouble Martin it if do it like the flash job.

- NerysFleet AdmiralYour Speedline model barge looks very good in the water and looks as if she is sailing extremely well. I've always thought that this design was a bit small to carry three headsails, but looking at yours, I think I must revise my opinion. Would like to see her competing in the AMBO class for 30" barges. She would qualify despite being shorter.Your Speedline model barge looks very good in the water and looks as if she is sailing extremely well.

Had a full sea trial last week, delighted with all results, please see video. Best results on throttle just about half speed ahead, but much more fun on full speed.

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi CP,Hi CP, Put the video up again. Even if the icon says 'Invalid file' we know how to view it!😉 55 mins is a very long time for an upload!?😮 How big is the file? If it's toooo big it may have exceeded the server limit for Uploads. In which case the way round it is to first upload it to You Tube and then post the You Tube page link (URL) here. Cheers, Doug 😎

Kevin - Harvey KittenChief Petty Officer 1st ClassHi Kevin. I haven’t seen the owner of that vessel recently but I recall he said it was running on a brushless motor as used in motorised skateboards powered by 12v SLA battery with a 60mm prop.
