Bad Ass and Green Streak airboat's
2 but shortly will be 20 rc airboats. I found a free stl file for a 3d printed airboat and got to work altering it with an inbuilt air tight section in the bow and a better laid out hull along with clean wire free motor and rudder installation. Everything is serviceable and removes with a couple of screws.
They have a small gyro to help them track better and are powered by 1800kv motor, 40amp esc and a 2s 1000 30c lipo.
Rubber bumper strip and the option for FPV camera
These are for a new low cost racing league for our club this year.
I say low cost as its £2.19 to print each boat. 87p for esc, £1.10 for servo, £6 motor, £7 propeller, £10 lipo! So £27.16 if you have you're own transmitter and receiver.
The optional gyro can be found for as little as £5 though i increased the depth of the strakes on the flat hull to help them track better

Sterling Century Seamaid
I got this model from a fellow Cofederation modeller member. The Model boat needed a few things, like a battery box area and a steering wheel that I'm still working on installing, plus a few other small things. I always like to have a driver, so I'll use my Dail Ernhart junior figure that I had in my duel cockpit runabout . The model was a wooden Sterling model kit that was well-made by that member. found the kit on Google images

LESRO SPRITE
Not sure what the run time will be with the new brushless set-up, so I've put 15mins as a start point; I know I can get 10-12+ mins with this size motor and a 3200mAh 4s Lipo in a 63ins span KK Super Sixty trainer plane revving an11x4" prop alot higher, so driving a 35mm prop in water at a range of speeds should get over 15 mins ( I hope...).
Same with the speed - I'll let you judge from the video, but it's difficult to tell how fast she can go in such a small area.
As for current draw - no idea at this stage, but I'll try and do an amp test in the future.
The photos on open water are with the original brushed motor set up. I've also included comparative photos of original motor set-up and the brushless set up. The short video should speak for itself, it's the same one as in the Classic Model Power Boats thread.
Best regards,
Nick

Non-Classic Fairey Builds
These come from the era of classic boats, including the 1960s and 70s and were timber hulled. The Fisherman 27 could be called a classic as it was a popular boat but I'm talking here in the context of models. I don't know of any of these being built and there certainly weren't any drawings or kits produced unlike with the classics like the Huntsman 31 etc.
These builds were borne out of my desire to build something different but still Faireys and were inspired by photographs found in books, which in the case of the River Cruiser, a small B&W photograph being my only source of information though with the hull being based on the Huntress made things easier.

Other Classic Fairey Builds
In addition to the Huntress I'm building all the other classic Faireys at the same scale of 1:12. None of them are finished yet!
The first of these was the Huntsman 28, followed by the Swordsman 33 (raised aft cabin version) and the Huntsman 31 aft cabin version - this started off as the full rear cockpit version called the Sport which was primarily intended for off-shore powerboat racing, but as I'd sold off my big 47" aft cabin version and my number of rear cockpit versions was increasing I decided to convert it to the aft cabin version mid-build.

Fairey Huntresses
I mainly scratch build my own models but when Dave Milbourn offered me one of the prototypes he'd built for testing the drawings for his scale 1:12 model it was too good to miss. This then set me on the course to build all my models to the same scale.
This included a Huntress Long Cabin version which features a stern-drive. Whilst wanting to build the classic well known Faireys I like to build some of their less well known ones as well.
Dave sadly passed away but I was then given the opportunity to obtain the second prototype which was even more detailed.

GLYNN GUEST KNOCKER WHITE TUG
NB some of the stats above such as run time, max amps, speed, are estimated. The actual finished weight was 727grams,.
This boat was recently finished and maidened on Christmas day on our new back yard pond. Since then I have added some LED navigation lights and cabin lighting. I'm very pleased with the result and would thoroughly recommend Glynn Guests designs for small pond models. They are simple and relatively cheap to build, yet with a little effort can emerge with plenty of character.
Due to the success of this one, I intend to build a couple more of his small designs, as well as a couple of Hal Harrisons, so watch this space.
Full details of this build are on this website in the build blog section.
rgds,

Re: R.A.F Crash Tender
This is a reduced model down to 28" from the 34" Crash Tender.
I then built it out of balsa wood and covere the bottom balsa skin with 1/16th ply.
I will get around to finishing it one day. Only part painted up to now.
The propellor on it in the picture is not the one that it will be run on it will have
a 25mm 3 bladed brass one on it. But I do also have a 20mm as a back up incase thats too big.

My ARTR Plastic Yachts
I bought the HydroPro Affinity not long after I started the hobby to learn to sail and do some club racing. It is 650mm long and complies with the DF65 racing regulations. Like the more common DragonForce 65 it was built by Joysway and was introduced as a slightly cheaper model but as it used many parts from the DragonForce I doubt it was very viable and wasn't available for very long. I built it with the B Suit of sails for windier days.
A few years later I wanted something a little more competitive (the HydroPro is quite beamy) and so bought a DragonForce 65 which I fitted with the A suit of sails for less windy days - saves having to change sails!

RSO Steyr 1/6th German ww2 field tractor (yes not another NONE boat) although it could do a small be
This is my scratch build German WW2 field tractor, ongoing process but does drive and currently undergoing a gearbox rebuild as the old drill motors felt the pain on tight turns.. Also has new prototype body from the Version 3 which I think only a few were ever in filed use.
Has sound and lights. A combination of 3d printed parts and aluminium, all the drives shafts are with bearings along with the road wheels.. Still a way to go, but time ain't the issue I hope. Although nothing is a given ..
