| description | I thought I would add a few pictures of MY boats...
...if only to keep up with the Jones's - and the Barnes's...! So - here is a picture of my two 4-foot long Aerokits models...
In the late seventies - both these kits ( 4mm ply frame construction - 1.5mm ply hull skins ) were around Ģ27. ____________________________________________
I removed an 850 motor from the large Sea Queen cabin cruiser... I will then fit one of my 'period' radio sets - solid Futaba quality and reliability - despite the 37 year age... ____________________________________________
The Crash Tender is 850-powered at the moment - and is to be repainted and refitted. These are pages about the TWO real boats that these are modelled on...
http://www.asrmcs-club.com/boatswebsite/gallery/93ff/ I will fit 8-channel Futaba F-14 radio ( expanded to 120 functions ! ), add some working features - and I shall sort out the various mistakes and anomalies that have been built into her...! I shall also make internal rearrangements - so that TWO batteries can be fitted at once - for longer sailing times... |

If you don't have a telly...
...'cause your eyes are always too busy looking at what you are drawing or building...
...then what is the obvious thing to do with a big TV cabinet...?
Use it as a stand - for two big model boats !
...I do hope YOU are talking boats !
There are the murmurings of a tamiyaclub boat meeting - in the summer, I imagine...
Slowly the boat boys are taking over
sarge' - you're a clown
Steve - it planes, but needs neither the 850 nor a 900...
...as it could do it with a nice period 'daddy Taycol' motor...
Nice boats both, my dad is seriously in to his Model Boats, especially large scale fast patrol boats. The Crash Tender will go with a 11-pole 900, I bet it planes !
Nice TV cabinet ! The MFA motor looks wrong in that tender. Shame you don't know anyone with a period motor you could stick in there
