When I fitted one to two different boats that I owned they were known as Transducers. But some still called them Logs. I would have still called it a Transducer though, it's not that long ago that I sold one that I had in my garage that I still had as a spare one.

📝 Aerokits pt boat bulkhead plans wanted

I am pleased that you may have found what you are after. My reason for asking was because I don't have any way of making a PDF, but I have drawn out on carboard the bulkheads of the RAF Crash Tender. I could have sent you these in the post if you couldn't get anything else if these would have helped you.

So sorry Bill to hear your sad news of both your Dr's diagnosis and that you will no longer be making any more posts.
Take care, I don't know what else to say, other than I am not a really religious person but may GOD be with both you and your wife. 😇My thoughts are with you both, farewell.

I have just been looking at the cost of LiFePO4 batteries. What a cost, and how can they replace Lipo's in fast power boats. I cannot find anything that resembles anything like what I use in my Miss Geico and a couple of others that are similar. They are all way too large?? Are there any that small ?

SimpleSailor,
Oh well, I didn't know the answer and so I took a guess at sheer 🤔and got the right, wrong answer. however daft that sounds.
I suppose I was lucky 😋with the wrong, right answer.

What are the difference between the AEROKITS PT BOAT and the AEROKITS RAF CRASH TENDER. I cannot seem to find a picture of an Aerokits PT Boat anywhere.

Hi Jacko, What motor and batteries are you running in your Cresta?
Do you do propellor swaps when you are out trying your boat out when first running?
Was she on full throttle at all or was there lot's more to go.
Was your Cresta driver just a little nervous when he was out on his first maiden trial run.
I am just wondering if she can get up on plane when running being a speed boat.

Wow!! What a lucky guess.
I knew there was two lighthouses down that way. I was trying to think which one to go for, I was going to go for The Lizard ans I almost did and I changed my mind and pressed the Longships Lighthouse instead.
I has even jumped my % up to 93% WHOOPEE.
But I only knew there was two down there because I used to work with someone who came from down there, and he used to go shark fishing down there.

I couldn't get that one wrong either, I am a South London boy and was born just a few miles along the road from Greenwich. Lewisham boy me, and me and my mates used to go down to Greenwich and go onto the Cutty Sark as kids, I couldn't afford to go onto it these days. Far too expensive now, but what a beautiful ship she is, great to see she got rebuilt after the fire. I still believe someone set her on fire deliberately.

Hi River Ra Your Chris Craft Cobra is awesome, the gloss on the varnishing is like glass. What varnish have you used PLEASE. Also could you please post a couple of pictures showing your car and truck completely, in their full spender, with all their front grill chrome . I am a classic car fan myself. I own 1960 Rover that I am slowly trying to do her up. She will never be as beautiful as your red one though.

I think you would have needed a bigger crane that that to lift the NOT a Sea Rover onto the water. But what ever she is she is a wonderful looking build so far. Do you want the phone number of Ainscough Cranes.

Your boat looks great on the water, up on the plane instantly. But my thought's are with the last two remarks, you could do with a much larger pond at least twice, at least the size of that one. You would then get to enjoy the runs much more.

I knew it wasn't the Titanic I saw it at the cinema go down in 1997 with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, and wasn't HMS Victory because in history lessons at school they never said anything about gold on it and so I had a choice Vasa didn't sound like a ship to me so plumbed for the SS Central America and got it right.

Can anyone explain the % scoring on the Question of the Day.
I had a score of 90%, I got 1 QoD wrong and it dropped down to 86%.
I have answered 8 QoD's correct on the trot and I am still at 86%.
How does it work ???

Schmango,
Love the picture's of your Sea Rover up on the plane. She looks wicked. Shame about she leaks a bit though.
I have just been and mixed up some good old Cascamite and dribbled
that along the keel of the boat I am building.
But there are plenty of other epoxy resins out her that you can run down the keel to stop the leaks. But she sure looks great oup on the plane.

That's a nice bit of video. she runs well.
I have a Krick Outboard but still haven't decided as to what I am going to put it on yet. I have also got a Graupner Rhode Island F1 Tunnel Hull that has a brushless outboard on it but not had a chance to run it yet.

Surely you could get it up on the plane by swapping and playing with different propellors.
Try using S type props as well they work well, and compared to the same size as a standard size they give a fair bit more speed.

Yes, That's what I am saying. on the label it says the prop is CW clockwise.
But if you look carefully at the propellor I am sure that it is a CCW Counter-clockwise propellor.
What I was saying is I had been messing about with a couple of my own propellors, as I mainly use CCW ones and the one in the packet looks like a CCW one to me.
I did say I might be wrong but I spent a good 25 minutes going back and forwards turning them back to front before I posted my comment.
Even when you turn a CW back to front it still looks the same as it does the other way and vise versa with a CCW.
To me they are both CCW props, as are about 90% of the ones I own.

LewZ,
I was looking at your picture of your propellor in the packet. I was a bit confused as is has CW on the label. I assume that means it it clock wise. Is that correct. Or am I mistaken, I have been fumbling about with a couple of my own props here by the computer and it looks like CCW to me??
