When I bought my (still to be built) Mt Washington kit from Dumas, they also have a motor drive available that has a gear reduction. You might check the Dumas webpage for more details.

Outstanding, and I love the window blinds. Did you make them? They are a project themselves!

My thought is that they don’t signal anything. They were just positioned like that to be visible to the other vessels as identification that the ship was a leader.

Especially the color in the 4th picture. Looks very ‘real’ to me!
It will be great to see the cannons all installed.
What did you spray over the black? I have a Constitution kit in my “retirement stash’! Need to take notes.

When I was in 6th grade, I was a little luckier than Roy. On my way to the school bus stop, I saw what looked like a Japanese toy power boat, all gunned up in some spray can dark green in a trash can. It was about 16” long.
I grabbed it out of the trash can, ran home and stuck it in the garage, then ran back to the bus stop.
When I got home, I checked it out. Looked like it had been a cabin cruiser with a battery powered motor. The cabin was gone, but the motor, prop shaft, prop and rudder were there. So I sanded off all the green spray paint, found a nice cruiser to model in a boating magazine, added some lights and the cruiser superstructure with balsa, and it became a very nice pond sailer. That was around 1956 or 57, so there was no way for me to R/C it.
Didn’t mean to kidnap the Bat Boat thread, but that last post kicked up some memories.
🤔😊

Your own design? Or are there plans or a kit? It would be great fun to ‘terrorize’ the other boaters! 😅

There are so many words, yet there are no words to express the grief from such a loss, particularly when it is totally unforeseeable. Condolences and prayers for your grief, and your silence here will be completely understood.

A harbor patrol boat immediately comes to mind, as that bit of ‘animation’ would make it stand out.
I remember years ago, putting a flashing red at the top of the fin of a Cessna.
Thanks for these circuits. I’m sure there are a lot of uses that they can serve. 😊

Do you have any way to ‘see’ what the camera is seeing, like in many drones, or do you just aim the boat and hope for the best?

It has been a beautiful few day’s work for you, and very inspiring. I have the kit, which will remain untouched until some other projects are re-started and completed.

When I was at the Naval War College in Newport, the first Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday fell on our first weekend, so we visited Fall River and the Massachusetts. Good memories.

It is my understanding that only ballistic missiles are carried on ballistic missile boats, as their function is stealth until they have to launch.
Cruise missiles are more tactical in nature, so are carried on attack
Submarines.

It is definitely not a puffer. Much too large. Could be a coastal freighter.
