While building my model yacht, a couple of my metal files have become clogged up with glue & plastic. I have tried a file card and wire brush, but to no avail. Has anyone got any Ideas as to how I might clean the plastic from the files.

Any Information would be greatly appreciated.

HI Stephen,

Well done, the application works fine on my IPad now.

Thank you very much for all your hard work in providing us all with this 'Five Star' Application.

Best Regards

That's great news, Stephen. I'm looking forward to that.

HI Stephen

Thank you very much for your reply.

As you previously suggested, I tried restarting the application, and even after closing it from the multitasking bar first, but was still unable to run the application. I have a very good Wi-FI connection, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. it's must be so frustrating after putting in so much Time and Effort.


Fortunately I have a Nexus 7, and after downloading the Android version, found that it works very well and may I say, it's a very helpful application especially for those modellers who don't have access to a Desktop PC or Laptop.

Model Boats 'IPad Application'

Hello fellow Model Boat/Marine enthusiasts.

Has anyone had any problems with the 'Model Boats' IPad Application? I've search the forum but found nothing.

The problem Is, when the application has loaded, a splash screen Is displayed for a second and then 'only' a white screen Is displayed, no text, nothing.

Any Information would be greatly appreciated!

Hello fellow Model Boat/Marine enthusiasts.

Being a new member of this forum I would like to give a brief outline of my experience In model boat building to date. My only claim to fame so far, Is that I've built an R/C 'Micro Magic' yacht (from a kit) about 2 years ago, so I'm not a complete beginner.

For my next venture I would like to build a model R/C Boat or Ship. The first piece of equipment I have for this project Is a Planet T5 TX/RX set-up.

I would be very grateful for some advice from the forum as to, what would be a good kit for a builder with limited knowledge and experience In boat building? Once the kit has been chosen, what electric and electronics equipment would I need for the model such as?

Brushed or Brushless Motor.

ESC (Forward & Reverse).

Batteries & Charger.

Servo, for the rudder.

Any further necessary parts or equipment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards
