discussion HMS NORFOLK F230 in DRYDOCK for MAINTENANCE an A REFIT

[boatman]

Chris,
Outstanding mate. Lovely work on the internals and she looks perfectly at home on the wet stuff.

HELLO Scottie thanks an yes i really enjoyed this build an doin the eletronics an yes im pleased with how she sailed on the pond an quite a few holliday makes came up to ask qeustions an jen answered them an they loved to see her sail as again they were askin where can i buy one an i said you cant as if this was in a model shop window id hate to see the price as ive seen in some model shops a lttle fishin boat about 2ft long goin for about 500 quid an that was with no R/C

Now that's either the real thing, or Ron has some serious competition for his sea builds!

AN HI Jim thanks for sayin she looks stunning an the holliday makers thought so to but as for eletrics well im still learning as tiger will have a lot more in her if everything goes ok but thats all still in the future an thats if i can work it all out as at the moment im like you the eletrics is all beyond me untill i get that far an then i'll have to dream up the eletrics an how it will work as im hopein to get a 14 channell R/C set for her so plenty of workin features if possible
an thank you for havin a looksee
all best

Looks fantastic Chris. If you know anyone with a drone (who is willing to break almost all of the rules), you could get some cracking pictures and videos of her on the water.

Thank for taking time to do the pics Chris. Norfolk looks amazing on water. I'm sure Jen was busy answering questions all day when people saw your amazing build making way. Excellent stuff, thanks again.
