Another suggestion and please don't take it the wrong way. Try earthing the motor case to the brass propshaft.

You should always suppress a motor even if you are running 2.4Ghz Consider the other people!
2.4Ghz maybe considered an " I'm alright Jack" but consider other modelers and never get a 2.4 Ghz below the waterline

Hi Nerys,
I have always maintained that insurance is a legalised form of theft
Have a good one

Hi Red
Went through the ombudsman with photos and affidavits but Ho***rd were sneaky a tiny print clause said that receipts were required for any item stolen. I have a Bcom degree in Law and my mentor tried but to no avail.
Then Hollard gave me a debit card but only for certain stores was a bummer
Guess who changed insurers very quickly!!!😀😀

My workshop is now equipped with an instant armed response alarm separate from the house alarm as the workshop is 36 square metres and is freestanding. My problem was the insurance wouldn't payout due to me not having receipt! After 30 Years?

Hi Red,
Gauteng Boat Club same place and set up obviously. The members have rebuilt the harbour and it looks good. Theft remains a major problem.

Thanks for the interest.
We are very fortunate to have a great place share the total area with:
Centurion Society of Model Engineers and Centurion R/C Truckers 1:14 Scale
We all meet on the same day
The photos I posted are of the boat club.
Here's some of the truckers whose track is between the carpark and the boat club.
The Model Engineers steam track runs around and across the dams and is nearly 2k's long
So we have a great drawcard!😀😀

Hi Rick
First thing is to reset the rudder and propshaft to correct alignment, strip old paint and repaint plus planking the deck and cockpit adding the screen, nav lights (proper ones) searchlight fairleads, cleats , fenders, deckrails, anchor and a rear dive platform plus some sort of instrument panel, seats etc. I will possibly try and find some colour similar to the blue!

Hi Red
The Johannesburg Model Boat Club at Emmarentia is now re opened as Gauteng Model Boat Club. ( Next to the Scouts Place).
Centurion is a great set up though

Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear of your accident. Hope everything comes right soon.
My Sea Commander will be at the pond next Sunday. Want to see how it runs, I have leak tested in the swimming pool but want to see it run on water before I strip it down for re painting etc.
Will try and get photos next weekend.👍👍

Spent 2 weeks aboard a fishing Vessel (Factory Ship) all fish fingers are is the absolute scrap they can't sell as fish.

Used to fish for these when it was Rhodesia.
