nothing worse in having to fault find while something is in situ.

Especially when it's floating in a pond!

I'd say more sensible than OTT, nothing worse in having to fault find while something is in situ.

Well John i made the it so the whole main flight deck could just be unscrewed so the whole thing came apart but I must admit that I had one major problem in the fresnall landing lights system which you hav'nt seen yet an I nearly lost it an I wanted to jump on the whole bl--dy ship :loudly-crying: but I had a coffee to calm down an I managed to get over the prob but boy oh boy was I pi--d off

OH HI Pete if it had a prob on the pond it stayed like it until I got it home as if I opened her up at the pond so many people wanted to look inside her an I would have never had a sail on the day

A few more pics
this little unit is the failsafe in case she loses signal an if she does then this unit jumps in an cuts all power to the motor's

[boatman]

Here she is havin her first maiden sail with some friends helpin to hold her as it was blowin a gale force wind
