    Thanks Dave, yes it's about 34". Complete novice at this, so any help is much appreciated. I didn't find the specs you found when I was looking. Guess I'm going to be finding something else to do with the motor.

    I' doing somehthing very similar, rebuilding one from the 60s, when I get time to finish it. I picked up a Brushless outrunner, Robbe/Roxxy Outrunner 4240/10
    - is this about right?
    - Will it be OK with a 4S/5000mAh lipo?
    - What prop would you suggest to start with?

    Yes, good idea, but I've only started sanding the hull so far. Time.... Not much of it.

    Well, I finally found some time to start. Lots of work to do. Hopefully I can sail it this summer.

    Must visit. I didn't get around to finishing the tender, other things got in the way and I lost interest by the time the fittings arrived. I'm out near the airport.

    Must get on with it, I eventually got the fittings, but lost interest. Time to do something.

    This is perhaps the wrong forum for this. But it was the end of June this year. I had an email exchange with Chris, not sure if that's you. Promises were made. Nothing received. I chased it, was told it was done, would be redone. Still nothing happened. I chased it in the middle of July, had another email exchange which led nowhere, so I gave up. Perhaps you can understand my scepticism.

    Sorry Kithack, but I'm sceptical. You promised me a kit with windows, fittings, transfers... but nothing materialised, despite me chasing you. Will it be third time lucky, or just more time wasting?

    Progressing.... Not! Am looking for all the parts atm. Motor, radio, rudder, paint, fittings etc. Then I'll get going. I hate starting something, then having to stop because either I don't know what to do, or I'm missing something. Looking at the videos, I'm expecting something pretty quick... 😎

    Just found the site and thought I'd Introduce myself. I'm a 50s ex-pat brit living and working just outside Munich. Main hobbies are saxophone and photography. Used to be a keen aeromodeller at school In the 60s/70s, almost all control line stuff, but I did build one hovercraft. Plenty of water around here...

    During that time a friend gave me a model RAF fire tender 34" to rebuild and re-engine. On condition that It was used. Sadly other things got In the way, but It's now time to do something with It. From what I've read so far It appears to be an aerokits model. However most of the fittings are missing.

    I'm new to boats, RC and electrics. All pointers gratefully accepted. Will be doing a lot of digging through here over the next few days/weeks/years...
