KOMETA HYDROFOIL
A GOOD AFTERNOON YACHTBUILDERS
as the weather is so fantastic in Belgium, i was browsing on you tube and felt all over on pictures and films of the above made by the russians. I have made this model for an import company for modelboats ( kits, accssoires,hulls) modelcars, and plaines.
The boat was equiped with 2 motors and it sailed quite beautifully as well as the original. As it is that long ago no pictures anymore

GRAUPNER CHRIS CRAFT CONSTELLATION
this model was the first boat i have built when i was 15 years old. unfortunately no more pictures anymore
The model was equiped with a variophon grundig 2 channel
with a kinematic servo that controls the rudder and forwards/stop/backwards. It has given me a lot of pleasure and gave it away to a young boy living in Italy who was the sun of my boss sister
And even today i still have the equipment in the original boxes

HARRO KOEBKE 1/32 SCALE
after years of searching for a modelkit at an acceptable price found finally one on Ebay.de and it's going well. Most of the models don' tilluminate the landing pad which i did and also found a heli at the same scale.
The mast is completely luminated with 2 working radars with mini motors.

The speed line model is not a 100% made to reality. I changed the upper control to my imagination as well as the lighting in the mast. 2 blinking blue flashlights. Navigation lights, search lights box thruster

My personal opinion is that lipos do need more attention in comparison with lead or NiMH batteries
NIMH keeps the middle in weight between lipos and lead. I changed from lead to NIMH 2 years ago and I m very pleasedwith the result.
