When you hear the wording in the warship movies, they always say, 'take the wheel ensign' and not 'take the helm'.

Peter, If you want the best adhesive, and money isn't a problem, the get some Stablit Express, I think it's available from Cornwall Models but just google it, best glue I've ever used for GRP hulls.

Hi John, I use Spektrum equipment, and the receivers I find best are, Spektrum AR6100e and for a cheaper one, from HobbyKing the Orange R615X works fine.

Is it ME ? Sonar is not for detecting the bottom of the sea, that is a sounder that checks the depth/bottom,
sonar as you already know, is to detect if there is anything beneath the water
Cheers Pete😊

The flags as listed by Dog are correct, but if you are building the Perkasa MTB 150, the flag you should be flying is the White Ensign with the Malaysian flag in the top quarter as shown.

These items are definitely not from Mike McGuinn who
specializes in model boat guns. he will still be at the Blackpool Model boat show in October, don't think he was selling up last year, just thinning out his massive stock.

📝 Finishing Balsa to look like metal
1 year ago by 🇬🇧 Rookysailor ( Commodore)
Commodore)✧ 76 Views · 2 Likes
Flag
📝 Reply
Hi Steve, If you really want your balsa to look like metal, the best way is to use metal! I mean to use Litho plate, used by some printers, ask around, or try Ebay, I think I got mine from there, you can get in in various thickness i.e. 1mm 2mm 3mm, and it glues onto balsa very easy.
Cheers, Pete

Very sad news of the five people missing, but surely
there must be some safety system on board in case of this happening, but here's hoping that everything works out fine, and they can be rescued.

'What is the maximum speed of an RNLI lifeboat?'
The Shannon jet drive is the latest RNLI boat,
max speed 25 knots. I'm wrong ?
