Sea Urchin
So I've got the Sea Urchin built to a point where it's ready for filling and sanding. I think I could have done better with the initial build but I'm still learning the terminology and techniques. I'll add a few photos tomorrow and tell you what I intend to do next hopefully If I suggest something wrong you folk will step in and point me in the right direction, wish me luck

Warship life on Board - Series one and Two were brilliant - Captain Eleanor Stack (series 1) and captain Tom Trent (series 2) Brilliant leadership skills regardless of how you think the producers wanted to portray our Navy

Next Question :-) If I buy a 2 Channel Radio Control will I get the receiver with it ? On eBay it doesn't specify if a receiver is part of the package or If I buy brand new will one come with it ?

Now that I've ventured into the world of RC as part of my Sea Urchin build I've reached the point of installing the motor for the prop, so the question is why is there a brushed and brushless version of motors and what ESC and battery are needed? I was given the brushless motor with the kit but no other electrics.
PS
can't attach any photos π€
