HI All,
This is an update,weather seemed ok so tried her out,very Impressed,got right up on the plane.Handling not that good think a bigger rudder is needed.
Running an 850 torpedo motor on 12volt battery.
Only problem was a leak,water running up prop tube so have removed and re-greased ready to try again.
Fire monitors missing hoping somebody can help.

HI All,
This was recently purchased through Ebay and undergoing restoration.
The previous owner built it with his father late 50's
This has been in storage for quite some time and lost most of the fittings.
The motor is a torpedo 850 and all is yet untried.
Will keep update on progress.

HI Rob,The decks do seep water from rear hatch but nothing major.
The motor I used is a Johnson 600,straight through 2-bladed plastic prop approx 40mm dia.The esc is a 20 amp mtronics with added inline 20 amp fuse (just in case).
Stability at speed reasonably good have not turned her over yet.
Hope this helps,
Harley

Original Aerokits patrol torpedo boat,first time out after referb.This was found in a semi-uncomplete nature but did have the box and plans with it.Power by 600 motor and 7.2 nicad very surpisingly fast,very tight handling around the bouys.Finishing details will be added as I go but for now very pleased with results.
Patrol boat in action latest picture taken on a very grey day at Gang Werily Hants.
Changed battery for a 4200 nicad much better run times now entering 15 mins plus,usually at full pelt.

This is Baldrick, a Krick radio controlled canoe.Yes he actually paddles his way round the pond (calm waters only as he gets swamped easily).Manual speed control powered by 2 x c size batteries and 4 AA for reciever placed for and arft for balance,not fast but very good to watch.
Baldrick last outing was at Twyford Water works open day Twyford Hants and he has been asked back.
A very different model which needs a delicate hand to operate,but still fun.

Thames Fire Service fire boat,this has twin 540 motors,12v pumps(not working yet) and nav lights.Fibreglass hull with wood decks etc.
The model is quite old and has been a static for some time until it fell into my hands,the name Gamma on the bow.
Looks pretty much scratch built and a very good job whoever did it.
Sails occasionally at Gang Werily Fawley Hants.
This is another work in progress,hopefully we will make it to a fun-day maybe next year.
