MP4 is supported if it's not to large BW,
It may appear as an 'Invalid File' but will still work.
It will be renamed an .mpg4 file but still work on a WIN 10 PC and Media Player.
What happens when you try to upload it?
Very nice looking boat BTW👍 I see she has had a baby😉
Trailer looks interesting too. Can we have a closer look please.

Steam Yacht Minnow
I finally managed to get out and do a video of SY Minnow. This was taken at Cheddar Steam Club and Jane and I were the only people there so had the water to ourselves. I have increased the displacement a little which has made her more stable in the wind. Although it doesn't look it, there was quite a breeze that day and you can see the boat heeling to the wind on occasions. I was very pleased with the mist unit as this was the first time I have seen it operate properly. I will do something about the masts being out of alignment!

- ianed57Sub-LieutenantThanks Tony,
It was good to get up to Cheddar and have a peaceful sail and capture the day on video. I've had this old Bugsier for a few years now and finally got it the way I want it. I dug out an old copy of MB from 1976 and noticed Bugsier was being advertised then, I don't know when Graupner introduced it, it would be interesting to know.
Anyway, thanks for the interest and all the best,
Ian
Motor Tug Seahorse
While I'm at it I have put up this video of my tug. I had been having problems with this and I completely replaced everything inside. Turns out the rudder servo was dodgy and the motor, a geared 500 was far too poky. It now performs beautifully and very quietly. Obviously it's an old Graupner Bugsier but refurbished by me to look a bit more like a British tug. The motor is a low noise 500 with direct drive mounted on a rubber sheet - the only noise is a whine from the esc.

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).
