Chris,

Yet again great to see her coming on.

Out of interest I was wondering how you move her around I've finished? Given her length. I can only sunny m assume it will be in two halves? If so how will you keep the two halves together in the water?

Will you take the deck and superstructure off and screw/clamp them together internally to keep it watertight?

Thanks again for sharing your progress.

HI Andrew yes both main S/S are removeable as this is where the main power batts are an there will be two X 12v 12 amphr batts one in the front section under the main bridge S/S that will power the R/C R/X an all the servos on 6v via a drop down power reducer unit an all the lights an such

AN in the rear section another of the same batt that will power all four motors an yes the ship hull has four big bolts on the front hull jiont section an on the rear hull jiont section there are four holes for the bolts to slide through into the rear section an then its a simple method on just fitting on the bolts butterfly nuts that will pull both hulls togeather an water tight an all the eletrics will also meet up in the hull jiont so is it clear how its done ? an thank you Andrew for your questions as its nice to see you guys take an intrest in how the ship will complete togeather an i will fit on a couple of pics how my HMS NORFOLK hulls goes together an then you will understand better i think

[boatman]

An the rear section where the bolts go through to make it W/T also the eletric plugs to carry elertic through to the rear of the hull hows that

[boatman]

AN how she will be moved around is easy both hulls sections will be sitting in there own carry cradles like here with my HMS NORFOLK FRONT SECTION

[boatman]

AN REAR SECTION sorry pics not too good but had a crap camera
