I have so far found 7 Plans for different types of Air Sea Rescue Launch (ASRL).
Two in marine modelling magazine July 2015 and October 2015.
Eg. MM101, MM104, MAR3703, MAR2171, MAR1335 ……..
Unfortunately actual plans not numbered or dated and not always obvious as to wood or plastic drawings.
Unhelpful, doesn’t help traceability, Non quality ….annoying.

Have been told High impact styrene has rubber in it so needs styrene glue.
Normal poly cement won't work and is OK for airfix plastic models.

Thanks, Tall Paul.

Thanks jumpugly,
Great suggestion. I’m not looking for latest LiPo brushless high performance boat kit.
It’s more scale kits that we are looking for.
Grandchild being new to craft it has to have hand holding instructions ( some video bits on YouTube ?)
See school ages etc in my previous post.
Have since found possible kits for boats, cars, aircraft etc see attached

Can anyone please recommend starter/beginner aged 12/13 (and me aged 80) for school/scout badge plastic model boat kit Task 1 together with remote control Task 2.
Boat to be at least 45 cm, and can go straight for at least 25 m.
Perhaps you know a scout group or school having done this already.
Many thanks.
Tall Paul … only worked in wood see my harbour.

Thanks for reply.
See photo of parts,
No parts list so don’t know if all there, also no part with its name.
No detailed build instructions.
Bought plan - it was for building using wood, so no help yet
Found article for similar plastic write up (15 pages).
Waiting for magazine write up for this model.

My first attempt at using plastic kit.
First problem is how to mark up where to cut/trim hull and deck
Second problem is how to lay out hull with motor, rudder servo,
Esc, Rx, battery etc
Any help would be gratefully Rx.

Hi Dainesh,
This looks a good solution that confirms to the 2018 change in regulations.
Please do you happen to have a parts list (or kit) as I wish to build this circuit
Many thanks Tall Paul.

It’s looking good with great colouring and all its bits.
I had the 46” version … a bit underpowered but I did
Enjoy sailing it. Hope you have successful sails.

Dead reckoning can be measured using three accelerometers for up/down, left/right, forward and backwards, each signal can then be integrated for velocity and then integrated again for position. Position found using dead reckoning.
Worked on these and on gyro systems such as those used on the V2 and later missiles.

Have just tested new motors, props, ESCs with a Vmixer, steering is fantastic, can turn either way on a sixpence.
Would still like pictures please of where the fittings should go on the deck.

Hi folks, I’ve been trying to find images of Canadian pusher tug kit sold by Hunter Systems.
The kit comes with quite a few accessories but I can’t find where they need to go … any pictures etc would be gratefully received.

Hi folks I’ve run boat with 900 motor and 12v battery but is does not go fast enough to plane.
What are your views about upsizing with brushless motor, brushless motor controller and what size of battery and whether to stay single drive or change to twin drive.
Hope someone has product info for upgrading.
Thanks Paul.

Hope you can help,

Thanks for posting about pond weed control.
Biological Control .. best seems to be Grass Carp reported to eat the weeds, we are still investigating.
Chemical Control... not allowed to use herbicide as our pond is linked to the River Itchen. However we do use Barley straw extract to control algae.
Mechanical Control ... motorised cutters etc are far to expensive and you still have to rake up the cut weeds.
In the end throwing a rake out or placed behind roots by guy in a boat and pulling it in is the best solution for us, so far. one in the boat, two each with a rake and barrow. we cut and collected barrow fulls.
We continue to use Pond Dye (see biofix and dyofix.co.uk) other shading can be obtained by planting willow trees.
Weighted black polythene sheets for 6 months at a time has been suggested as has solar powered fountain or air pumping air bubbles as this reduces infestations and oxygenates the water.
