H.A. Kits Thames slipper launch
I got a H.A. kits slipper launch to keep me occupied while waiting on delivery of my next J class yacht. I went a bit mad as I wanted to suss out different ways of building and finishing. I think it is a fabulous basic kit and I let my imagination run a little bit wild. Still some bits of jewellery to add but am going to get it wet first. Really happy with everything so far.....even the mistakes.

- MartinH2🇬🇧Petty Officer 1st ClassThe Thames slipper launch got her bottom wet this morning🤓 Not enough rudder movement is the only issue. The 15amp speed controller quit after giving her some beans but to be honest its really isn't meant to be a planing hull. At scale speed she looks pretty good. I mounted a GoPro on a servo for a bit of fun but it was a bit too low down. Will sort these little issues but happy with the results so far.Like 7Liked by peterd and AndyN and
