Found old photo First R/C model & Transmitter & Speed Control
This is a photo I found in a old album .It's my first R/C controlled model & I think it was a Billings tug The Sampson .The radio was a Cox Sanyo transmitter & Receiver . I had to get a C/B license back then to operate the radio . Years later I removed the deck & cabin & used the hull to make the North Rock tug boat . That's the speed control that I would have used back then.😊

    I recall getting GRS licences for two "CB" mobile radios & a base station in the mid-70s, & also a licence for a 72 MHz $400 Cox-Airtronics 4-function radio system for 100"-span Standard-class gliders, using only rudder & elevator servos. I believe the licences were $19 /yr each back then.
    In abt 1990 INDUSTRY CANADA narrow-banded the RC channels & therefore was able to add a few more channels. The service category also became licence-exempt, but type-approved radio apparatus, certified for use in Canada, was still a legal requirement.
    By then CB radios were 40ch

"Grace Darling" Liverpool Class Lifeboat
Ian Potts built his model from the David Metcalf kit and sailed the model at Boundary Park on our Wednesday 30th August meeting. Unfortunately there was a problem with one of the props and rudder (all now fixed) so the sail was short. Sails realistically and is really well built and detailed.

The forest fire smoke wasn't to bad the day I ran the boat . I named model off of a Canadian Singer Stompin' Tom Connors - Wikipedia songs about a lobster boat The Gumboot Clogaroo .

RC Tyne Paddle Tug
Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.
For reference see :- http://tynetugs.co.uk/

Fairey "Maybe" on the water
Just taken dads old boat out and it handles well. I might add some short chines to the aft section just to stop it skidding out so much on turns and it is a bit over powered. Only running on 4 S in the video, 6 S next 😂. Not sure if the YouTube link works.

INGA IV - Luxury Ketch
Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

    So ah, is this thing mobile ? Towable ? Open the door and window, drag it down the road and all that pesky sawdust and debris would be GONE !

    Actually, you’ve done a great job on it…. Now a mini bar fridge and music is all that’s left..
