Look for a simple balsa build

Am I correct in assuming that the front deck was too small in all dimensions - not long enough and not wide enough? Can you remember about how small it was? Quite a lot of people have downloaded the Curlew with no issues, including people who have made 'double sized' versions (which would magnify any error), so I am very interested in seeing where the problem lies. It may be that there is some arrangement of the files that lets printing happen at different scales?

CNC boat kits...?

Yes - and you want to balance out the current available from your power supply to go to all drivers equally. I have 1/8 microstep on X and Y axes, but 1/2 on the Z axis. You usually want that one to go faster with less resolution...

HMS Cottesmore

I just thought I would post some photos of my HMS Cottesmore. She is still a work in progress. I have been working on her for about three years now.(in between other projects) I purchased the hull And running gear from Fleetscale. Everything else has been made by myself using odds and ends, bits and pieces including yogurt pots and a lot of LED's I have a few more years work to do before she is completed, lots more bits to make.

Old Swordsman or Huntsman ?

Purchased many moons ago in a sorry state, the wiring was a bit of rats nest, I tided it up and and ran it for a while then forgot about it. I have now restored it to its currant state but have not sailed it yet. Not sure if its a Swordsman or Huntsman and have no idea whose kit it is, I did have an Aerokits RAF Fire Tender and it seems to be the same sort of kit or maybe Veron? Fitted with MFA torpedo 850 and two 2200 mah lipos.

MTB from a Model Boats plan

Here are a couple of pics of my MTB which I built from a freebie plan which was in Model Boats - the plans were by Glyn Guest. We had it on the lake last Sunday for a run around - she has a 540 motor fitted; an Mtroniks 15 amp speed controller; and can run for a good while on 7.2 300 mAh batteries
