Never expected to get words of wisdom, and truth, from a model boats website! Thanks! 👍

I also like your attention to detail. Your radar masts turn and, your flag flies in the breeze! Cheers Hugh

Love the way she looks in the water. My father in law was an officer in the Hellenic navy, and the name of your ship grabbed my attention.Great! Love it!

Hi Alan, I, too, am building a Clyde Puffer. Mine is scratch built ,and same scale as yours. I have installed a 6:1 brushed electric motor. I wanted scale speed . The shaft length was 11" from memory. Interested in how you get on. Clyde puffers were lovely ships. Cheers Hugh

Japanese safety boots are the go then?

I have two working,one almost there and another scratch built coming up, plus 5 static models. We are strange folk, but must have something in common to be building and sailing them.

Thanks to all of you who gave me some advice. I found out that The crystal on the transmitter was missing. It was in the box, so plug in and great joy! Tears of happiness. I bought this set years ago in Dorchester, Dorset on a trip to see my parents. I think it is a bit cheaper to buy here, but I will compare next back in the UK. Cheers, and thanks again guys, much appreciated.Hughie😎

Hi Dave, No problem, I appreciate your advice. I will do as you suggest, and see how that works out. Cheers Hughie

Hi Dave Thanks for your reply. No, I didn't try the RC before the aerial got broken. Yes, I have stripped the wire and twisted them together, but haven' t soldered them as yet. I haven't put the battery plug in the servos or vice versa.I will try what you suggest and let you know how I got on. Cheers Hughie👍

I have installed a Futaba Attack 2ER receiver plus 2 servos in my fireboat. Both lights are 'on' on the transmitter, and there is the correct voltage coming from the battery supply to the receiver. When I plug in the servo ,the servo moves a bit. However, the transmitter has no effect on the servos. I have checked and rechecked the connections. The aerial was cut, but I have joined the parts together temporarily. Can anyone give me any advice? Cheers Hughie

Thanks Yax, I thought of doing that, but lacked confidence. Cheers, Hughie👍

I have a Futaba Attack 2ER system installed in my Fireboat. Through my own haste, stupidity, the antenna on the R122JE receiver was cut, about 1" from the receiver. I know the antenna/aerial must be kept to a specific length. Does anyone know if it is possible to join the 2 ends together, or replace the antenna? If neither of these is recommended, does anyone know where I could buy a new receiver. I have had no luck, so far, in Oz😭

Nice detail.I think the wheelhouse should be at the bow, just my preference👍

Thanks for all of the detail photographs

Thanks. I am interested in building a RC sub, but am concerned about water entering the hull.

Any internal photos?

Have you any plans for this boat? Nice job!

Like you made control line aircraft at school, and then returned to it a few years ago and joined a club. Good luck with your build.

How do you prevent water entering the prop shaft?

I agree with boaty. My models have improved and I am more persistent than when I was younger. Hugh

Started the boat when I was eleven, now I am sixty-nine.inspired by your site and want to complete it and sail it.

I was given a RAF crash tender kit many, many years ago when I was eleven, and a boy in Yorkshire. Now live in Queensland , Australia. I think it was a too much for me, and my Dad wasn't interested, too busy........ and well not a good Dad anyway. It was left partly constructed for years and then I completed the hull and installed an ic engine. Left for more years until I saw this site. Bought a fittings kit and now my boat looks very like others on line.still haven't sailed it, as more needs to be done. I will put up some photos soon. It is interesting to see the differences in the crash tender photos from the members. I guess it reflects our personalities and our boat's histories.
