Donโt know very much about this boat as I took it on to renovate.
I know it is a Billings model and will post more when known.

Al Kubar 2
I have just taken delivery of my next project kit, the Mountfleet (Slipway) Al Kubar harbour tug.
I get a lot of advice from my club but am just fishing around for any comments before I start.
Mainly propulsion, motors, ESCโs and batteries. Any comments from you guys would be appreciated. Rockbag

Thames Barge - "Kitty"
This is a my first scratch build and is based on a free plan issued with Model boats magazine.
At the moment I am at the hull stage and am just about ready to fibre glass the interior before sorting out the motor mount, prop shaft and sail control items before installing the deck.
When the fibre glassing is finished I reckon most of the rest will be a winter project.
After a 12 month absence I can now submit a few pictures of my nearly completed Thames Barge 'Kitty'.
All I now require is a false keel and set of sails, which a club member is making for me.
It has been a long slog fitted in between my other interests etc. but I am quite pleased with the result so far.
Thanks to our club members for their advice and help. As a rooky with regards to scratch building it has been a very worthwhile project.
Attached are a few piccies of how it looks at the moment.

๐ Scratch Built Hard Chine Yacht

The rudder is 5โ long and 3โ at its deepest,
I have found it to be very effective in bringing the yacht about when required.
The keel is fixed and comprises of a mahogany top section blended with 9 lb of lead
for ballast.
This combination allows the Yacht to cope with reasonable wind conditions.

Iโve used Component Shop for many years but on this occasion I am very disappointed with their service.
For those who are not familiar with Action Electronics P94 it is a dual Electronic Speed Controller and Mixer module.

๐ Electronics problem.
4 months ago by
๐ฌ๐ง Rockbag (

I have finished my Al Khubar 2 harbour tug build and am now fitting the electrics.I decided purchase a P94 unit from Component Shop.
This was just over 12 months ago.
Unfortunately my build was put on hold due to health problems.
Recently I finished the build.
I fitted the P94 as per the instructions but the P94 failed to fully function. I contacted Component Shop and sent the unit back to them.
They have had the unit for over a month and apart from me phoning them and emailing them I have had no response from them.
Have any of you guys had experience with the Action Electronics P94 or with Component Shop.
The unit was ยฃ75 and as far as I am concerned a waste of money and I would have been better fitting 2 Escโs.
Cheers Guys.
