AN MANY THANKS Scottie yes she is at last under sail but not right still got some probs but hope to sort them so im not clappin yet lol

Bravo Chris!.......She looks the "Bomb", warts and all! :thumb2::thumb2:

HI Rick cheers on the warts lol an yes she went like a bomb had a job to keep up with her when she was sailin an yes i know far to fast for scale speed but the real ship did 33 knots so she was no slouch an i like plenty of power an some guy on up the pond said what have you got a nuclear plant in her lol as he was amazed at her speed but i treid most times to keep her at half throttle as no wind on the day
cheers

HI Doug yes its them little bleeders an cant make it out really as everything works fine on her table its only when she is sailin that the gremlins start i wonder if im gettin signal bounce from my T/X to bounce off the water surface as it does happen so ive heard but only on the 40 megahezert T/X BUT should not on my new 2.4 GIG T/X

Hope you get your Gremlins sorted Chris - you ain't got a tiny leak somewhere and got them wet have you? You know what little b*****s they can be when you get them wet!! They're not at all cute and friendly like Gizmo!

She still looks fabulous even sitting on a table so you got a lot to be proud of.

[minitnkr]

Bravo!! Looks to handle well & turns nice'n'tight.

HI Dave cheers for the accalades an yes she does look good even on the table let alone sailin an im very pleased an yes she had a few gremlins to fix but i'll wait till she has been in the model show on 28th an 29th at lowestoft as she's gonna be in with my norfolk an my freind paul is puttin his smaller TIGER in as well an the pulic on that last sail amused me as they kept callin her a battleship an i said sorry you have that wrong Tiger is a light heilcopter crusier an got fed up tryin to put them right in the end so left it as battleship lol an yes there was a few tiny leaks in her so may fit in a bilge pump to pump out the water so yes them gremlins got wet but i dont feed them past midnight lol
cheers Dave

Bravo!! Looks to handle well & turns nice'n'tight.

AN MANY THANKS PaulE YES she went well for a time but i dont think that servo ive fitted to the rudder is strong enough so went to my local model shop today an bought a heavy duty servo with all metal gears an water proff an it can push 15 k/g so its 4 times stronger than the one i fitted in so see how that turns that rudder an failin that then a even bigger one that can push a whoppin 200 onzes of power
CHEERS ATB TO YOU GUYS
