I am afraid that I disagree with the comments about Doug. They do not reflect Doug's comments or intentions. We are here to offer assistance to those that request it and others that may learn from the comments etc. Doug offers some of the best most practical
advice from his experience.
A Fairmile D had 4
engines and props. if you want to recreate it as a true
scale model then that is the the aim.
You are entitled to have one prop, one
engine and one SLA
battery in your boat. it may plane for approx 10 minutes before it slows and drops off the plane. I had such an arrangement a few decades ago in an old MTB, but have learned from it and moved on. I would not advise this arrangement with all the newer
motors,
battery types and ESCs available.
My Fairmile D has 2 x Speed 700
motors and NiMH
batteries. it runs on plane for an hour or more. My newer Vosper MTB and La Combattante III boats have 2 x
brushless motors each and the same NiMH
battery packs - my choice. Other people use LiPo
batteries.
We respect all
modellers and their quest to
build 'their' own
models. Nothing wrong with having the best
advice available, so
modellers can make up their own minds.
