Hello Basher, I have just registered on this site only minutes ago and Immediately saw your post. To me it is appropriate that you posted it on my birthday, 10th March thus my response. I admire the fact that you renamed the ship in a memory that is precious to you,a very sincere thing to do.Good luck with getting the ship into a fine working order. Best regards, Steve Heward. steve-fb40.

HI Colin & Chris,
There is some great work on here. I have just purchased an old mostly built 46'' Tender and want to bring it back to life. I am new to RC stuff but want to do the best scale job I can. Any drawings would be a great help to me as I don't have any and the boat has no fittings on board at all. Where could I get hold of some air cowls at this scale, pumps, pipes lights etc...
Any help would be very greatfully received.
Regards
Dean

HI Stonemonkey. I have a spare set of plans for the 46 inch boat which I can copy and send you. You can also get fittings set for these bigger boats from Lesro models. E mail me on (Email Removed - PM Only) if you want the plans.

looks great nice to see another boat brought back from the brink to do do another 40 years

Hi
such a pleasure , I wonder how many there are out there now
that have been restored Simon

This looks great. Im just about to set off on the adventure of building a Range Safety Launch from scratch using a Vic Smeed plan set I have managed to obtain. The plans are 1/12th but I'm scaling down to 1/16th for practical reasons. Let me know how you get on or if you need copies of plans etc. Well done !

looks good, where do you sail

Peter

Just one word WOW

Hi" there, " You have a very nice boat there "
I also own one like this. I try to keep the wieght from
the middle to the back of the boat. My set up is two 7.2 volt @4600mah side by side under the larger compartment lid and switch from one battery to the other. But keep them both in when sailling.! Also running on speed 600 motor. my set up keeps the rear in the water and keep the bow nicely out at speed . But also the boat should sit evenley on the water when it is not running.Try this Before you attempt to butcher your model . Good luck 👍 And a happy new year !
