"Rescue Launch "
Grandad Graham was looking after his 7 year old grandson for the day, grandson Finley asked (several times) - he could help building a model boat. After he had gone home, Graham started to think about a boat he could help build. Graham had come across "HAkits" in a couple of blogs on the https://model-boats.com/ website, he then decided that their Rescue Launch would make a nice model for a 7 year old. The kit was duly ordered and arrived a few days later.

    The boat looks great, really nice.
    I bet Grandad doesnt even get a look in now though 😂
    Some great driving by Finley, smooth turns and not just flat out everywhere.

    Very nice.

    Thanks Will,

    Re the turns. The launch has a custom mixer built in to reduce the throttle on turns. The sharper the turn, the more the reduction. I didn’t want it rolling over attempting to turn flat out.😉
