    Hi, Dave, Andy.

    Sorry I have not been up to date with your posts I have just returned from a weeks holiday to-day ( Friday 21st )
    and just started to catch up on events, I note with interest the comments
    raised by Andy on the brushless motors, which are apparently available
    on a slower speed, and look to seeking more information on these .

    HI Dave,
    it was a moment of inspiration that took my thoughts in the
    direction of the brushless motors, I have just retired and was thinking
    about a project to get momentum back into my various power models.
    as of recently model yachts has been my passion
    thank you

    HI Dave M,

    Thank you for your reply, and have noted your comments on the use of
    brushless motors being normally the domain of fast electric boats considering
    this I will not proceed any further on this train of thought, I do not think
    other pond users would appreciate a tug approaching on the plane

    requires to be applied In calculating the appropriate replacements & speed
    controllers, any advice appreciated

    I have only just recently joined this site and the information available along with the help & advice is certainly worth a donation, try purchasing a book to cover all the information at the press of a key board button.

    I have seen this boat operating on the water, it is a work of art, the detail is superb, the speed is I am sure
    a very close scale down of the original boat.
