to stop the brass tube from bending

Purchase this Amanti kit about 15 years ago , started to build the cabin found that every thing went to gether real good but when it came to start on the hull I had no idea of how to fasten the lap stape to the fibreglass hull so model was put on the back burner for a few years, talked with an other model builder and he said he could finish the model for me which he has done, now waiting for soft water to try it out, It has 2 gear motors for power

RE; Working anchors
what I have done with the anchors is run the chain up a tube to the winch, this would keep water from entering the hull

Looks good are you making working anchors also if so Banggood has what they call an upgrade, aluminum 25T servo winch kit for 1/10 RC crawlers, what you need is a 360 degree servo to use it on an glue a larger disk to them for more space, I am working on some now

Puddle Pirate when ordering from Banggood just type in RC products and with that I find a lot of stuff we can use you would be surprised at what they have but it takes a while to get stuff from them

What I use in mine is baby oil and kerosen mixed 50/50 does have a little smell but works, you could use varsol instead of the kerosen like what they use in coal oil lamps

What you need is a box, your nichrome wire a wick from coal oil lamp a small fan from a computer, wrape the wire around the wick put in the oil and the fan will blow the smoke out the stack

Scratch built, still need to do nav lights, used doll house parts, runs excellant, out board motor, mintron esc, has cabinet inside with sink and wine bottles, railing rustic look, and no driver has a coke in his hands not a beer, use a jam container like what you get in restraunts with toast for sink (Motor: out board) (ESC: minitron) (9/10)
