    Colin, by the look of your picture the dog on your lap is a stress reliever, we have two rescue dogs and every time I want to do some work(including boat building) one spreads across my lap and I am stuck for a couple of hours!

    I am certainly no expert on rcยดs but can you just delete the faulty model setting as you have created a new setting to replace the faulty one?

    Lew,
    Yes we are on similar wavelengths. If you colour background, draw decals and then remove them from the background. when you print it the decals will be the same colour as the target medium

    if you have access to photoshop (or similar) if you colour the background then create your decals and /or numbers in white, then print and cut round the decals. Job done doing this way you can have decals of different colours as required!

    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)
