    The problem seems to have worsened with the ever increasing population of Canada Geese !!.
    I recall reading a paper some time ago about the damage , nuisance and public health problems that these wild birds cause when 'domestically'
    encouraged . Just how much of this is fact I wouldn't know , other than nothing gets done untill there is a serious incedent in relation to the "Problem".

    Usually the annual weed problems come and go - but this year things look worse than ever in many areas around the UK.
    Is it that Councils and Park management consortiums don't know what to do - or do they need help ???๐Ÿค”

    Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
    Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
    This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.
    For reference see :-

    Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

    RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

    I like the idea of rear stub axles so you can extend the overall "foot print" if (when) she needs more turning stability under speed (when you get her on the supermarket car park )๐Ÿ˜† keep up the fun factor of modelling JB - I continue watch with interest ! ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Žโ›ต

    Perhaps not a true description with both boats being battery powered ! however - just for fun I thought it would be nice to showcase together, similar boats sailed at my own local model boat club and some of those sailed at the Hayling club - a sort of "Model Club Twinning".

    On a visit to Hayling Island last year, I met and sailed members of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club at their local venue at Mill Rythe.
    May this year provided me the opportunity for a return visit.
    Many thanks again to all members for the hospitality shown.
    Special thanks to Greg, Rob and Mike (the Swan Whisperer) !.

    BOTTOM LINE ! - Thinking back , the idea of using the FPV with goggles seemed a good idea at the time, but -
    1. With goggles on - my eyes couldn't focus, and with lag, latency and glare I couldn`t sync the brain to frame or capture the shot !.

    2. With the smart phone - Same problems, and with so much going on, unreliable wi-fi was too much for me !.
    Maybe a different story with 2 people or a new brain ๐Ÿ˜ !!

    Hi to all, Great video Lew, you have a terrific setting there with support from the authorities.
    My monitor cam was ok but poor video and also drops 2.4 signal from time to time !.
    Phone works reasonably with GoPro app but lags with latency and difficult to see in sunny conditions so I tend to revert back to the GoPro 7 for stability and quality, using the remote to trigger shots.
    My Sony also like me - getting old but struggles with zoom close up with glare over water ! - apart from that we get by the best we can ๐Ÿ˜–.
    I use cybelink PD14 for editing with my old desktop which ๐Ÿคž keeps chugging along โ˜บ๏ธ.
    Cheers for now and enjoy your sailing โ›ต๐Ÿ˜Ž.
