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

DGzRS LIFEBOAT HARRO KOEBKE
started the building a few months ago. The after cabin with the heli pad is almost finished.Origanaly there no lamps fitted on the pad. I also found an helicopter at the same scale 1/32 which fits quite nicely. The mast is completely luminated and the tw radars are functional as well as thefirefighting hose.
The bowthruster is installed as well as the 3 motors. linked to two ESC. The little boat is almost finished and in the stage that it needs to be painted.
Pictures will folloxw as the building progresses.

๐ Lipo battery - whether to switch
12 days ago by
๐ง๐ช hermank (

Flag
I am looking for help/guidance regarding switches in my motor circuit.
My questions are:
1. Should I put a switch on the battery supply ?
2. If so, what rating should it be ?
3. There is no switch to the receiver/ESC at present and I believe there should be one. Can anyone confirm this please.
Now, for reference, the circuit comprises the following:
A 5S 5000mAh 30C Lipo battery; 40A fuse; 90A marine ESC; 3 20A fuses; a 46x50 brushless motor; Flysky receiver. (as yet no switches)
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. ๐

I READ YOUR REMARKS AND THERE' S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SCALE. THE POND YOU ARE SAILING IS TO SMALL THAT 'S IT. IF YOU WANT TO SAIL ON A VERY NICE POND YOU ARE INVITED TO ANTWERP. I THINK WE ARE THE ONLY CLUB WITH 2 PONDS. DIFFERENCE MUST BE AND DEFINETLY WHEN YOU EXIST 119 YEARS. HEREBY SOME MOUTHWATERING PICTURES. THIS POND HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY BUILT FOR OUR CLUB; I WILL SENT YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE NEW POND AS THERE'S A BIG CHANCE WE HAVE TO LEAVE OUR POND ON THE LEFT BAN SIDE OF THE RIVER

the sailing squad left us about a year ago as all of them on rc and not on a wind rudder like in the old days where they had a wooden stick to re- arrange the rudder and when it was just a straight saling regatta. They now sail just outside antwerp on a drinkwater reservoir for the city with a lot of wind, no trees and a lot of sailing fun
cheers

Alessandro buena sera amigo italiano
i jnow a lot of people love steam driven boats but it is such a mess with the oil :(
Our pond has been especially made for us in the early fifties. I have mentionned this when you go on to the side. It is completely in concrete. 1m deep nd 2 levels underneath ground level to avoid wind disturbing our sailing. 2 a month from april onwards we do have a competiton(one steam and one electro) where you have to navigate between fenders and follow a well indicated route. I think we are the onlu clube who are so fortunate to just now as there is a good chance we have to leave the premisses becauce the city wants to reorganise the area which is on the left bank side of the river. If you do have more questions do not hesitate to write or ask
bueno notte
