Finally finished with club help(Thanks), a couple of pictures of it in water(water splash on pool surround caused by working monitors) and lighting shown in workshop activated using a servo operating a spring micro switch.
Peter you can see the problem re dinghy on stern.
Has a small turning circle at high speed and very stable

I have planked the hull but am trying to improve the results by painting, rubbing down, filling and repeating until satisfied. and the lights are controlled by radio and multi switch to separate the running lights from the room lights

just to let you know my latest build (Finnmarken blog) has in excess of 100 lights ( i am experimenting with the wiring) and at present they are in parallel with a resistor on each deck(5 plus running lights) and are working OK. I would not run in series because if 1 fails I would have a major problem finding the faulty light!

My sailing was dinghy racing and I know the button on top of mast is the highest point, the crows nest is just below the button as the person in the crows nest has to hold onto something!

all the receivers (5)I have got are only 6volts, so suggest try again with receivers getting 6volt supply ( I always have wiring problems but am supported by members of this club)

you can download the manual for windows 11, only 208 pages but it is continually being updated, good luckπ
I also use apple and am involved with PIRDA where we recycle donated computers into usable ones and give to worthy causes, eg schools

my sympathy goes to Martins family and a sad loss to this club. His knowledge and help to other club members will be sorely missed. He spent a lot of time on Skype helping me sorting some of the problems I had with my models!
REST IN PEACE MARTIN

Dave,
if I read this correctly, this is what you want. I have a graupner mc 26 and I have a duo switch so that I can switch my LED running lights and 109 LEDs for lighting!
I enclose the wiring diagram

Peter,
Just remembered!. when you do water test make sure hose from keel to pump is connected(or outlet above water level) when I did mine I found I had buggered the pump and was waiting for replacement and forgot about the pipe and when I did my water test I notice it started to get sluggish and on investigation found at least 1/2 inch of water in the hull, I had just tucked the hose in the hull!!!!!!πππ

Well done peter, quality puts mine to shame, hope you enjoy it when in water as it has great speed and manoeuvrability. Put some other boats in the water and do a slalom between them(only kidding)!
