    Since my first comment I have been able to open your link and see the short hovercraft video Phil.

    The model is described as a GRIFFON so I am guessing that I should be able to find out more about the model online - maybe there is a commercially available kit for it?

    I will see what I can find out about building and running an r/c hovercraft.

    Hi Bob, yes the Griffon belongs to Hayling Island Model Club Member Mike.
    The club are a great bunch of guys with a wide range of model knowledge and I enjoy being able the share media from such an enthusiastic club.
    Rob is the website manager who sent me the video clip - I thought it too good not to share through my RCSailing channel while experimenting with "Youtube shorts".
    P.S my channel is not monetarised - its just for fun.

    Hey Trev..

    There are pilots WAY better than me. I fly Scale, no aerobatics (my machines don't like aerobatics!!). Just like the Violin or juggling, they take perseverance and practice. I have been flying Helis for 40+ yrs now..

"Up Close" with Pilot Cutter Ellen
Take a close, slow look at the detail and craftmanship created by Buxton Model Boat Club member Graham Royle.

Our club made the local news!!
The local Fox TV channel contacted us and told us they'd like to do a short feature on us.
The time allotted was short, but I think we did a nice job representing our hobby.
Hopefully this may create more interest in the local community!
Here are links to the 3 segments they aired:

    "Any Details on the Turbine?
    Trev"

    Trev.. This is an elderly Wren 54 configured as a 2 stage drive (ie. the turbine is a gas generator which drives a turbine driven gearbox). You can see the setup in the Video of the mechanics running.

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.
