    Hi Model Boaters ๐Ÿ˜†
    Please help me out. I am looking for an International Association / Federation that represents RC Boating. I have all the Model Power Boat / Radio Sailing Associations and Naviga. I'm looking for something similar to the latter but with an actual contact person / number to contact for collaboration in Africa.

    Does anyone know where I can get airsoft gun mechanisms? I have a patrol boat with a front mounted browning and like to make it shoot for real. Ive seen the guys in Oz going nuts with their war games and love the idea. Want to shoot holes in hulls of other boats that annoys me. ๐Ÿ˜

    I recently found the cheap Chinese fairy lights a quick and easy solution for internal and deck lighting. You can lay them out and cut off the excess wire and they work for hours with watch batteries. At ยฃ1 a string its worth it. Then its merely a matter of connecting a microservo to the switch and you have remote on/off functioning. Some sets even have multicolour. Quite fun to work with. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    The minesweeper has much more appeal than the Calypso. It tells its own story and as a history nut I do like these stories more๐Ÿ˜€

    @Roycv. Yes I was glued to the tv screen when that show came on. Back then it was more about the discoveries. It was only until recently that I paid attention to the Calypso itself. Not a boat I want in my fleet. Looks like a well kept Taiwanese trawler with extra Chile sauce. Or as we call it in SA. Steak. Switches Tricks and other crappies

    My take on these popular models like Titanic and the Calypso etc is that its like piles. Every ass had one at some stage๐Ÿคฃ Rather show me something Wow and unique. Im not really into sheeple chasing

    On my RV Northern Explorer I have a stern gantry to lower a submarine into the water. I always looked at this critter but had my doubts as to its longevity. Another drawback for my application is it doesnt have an onboard camera. At the moment I have a GroPro housing converted to look like a submarine but its horribly bulky. Thanks for sharing

    It was actually the RMS Olympia that sank. The rivets used in the Titanic was taken from the stock of the Olympia which was later found to have been substandard quality causing the ship to shear open.

    On the issue of history written by the victor, I have this pet belief that the truth or facts are merely the best bull dust story acceptable by the majority of the population. By mutual and often tacit consent, it then becomes the unmistakable truth. In short if you tell the same lie long enough, it becomes the truth.
