CHEERS Tim glad you like her on the wet stuff an yes i was very pleased with her like Doug was sayin about trim just RIGHT an yes it was when i sailed her again in a good wind but dint get any pics then as the fuses blew almost straight away good job my mate rich had some 40 amp fuses as i dint exspect this prob but well ive now got to put it right an yes Doug ill will not be takin no prisoners an talk about a big turning circle about 50 ft so i wont be doin any zig zagin when sailing
HI PaulE cheers many thanks
AN HI Nick thanks for you nice comments an well if you do read all this build do it a bit of a time as i waffle on lot due to problems in the course of the build as this ship was the hardest model ive ever treid to make but yes im pleased she sailed ok but im now been pushed back due to this motor problem so in a way she is still not finished so next week she back in drydock for modifications an to try again on sept the 10th next warship day at the Norwich pond
WELL HI ALL well yes she sailed ok an many thanks for all your nice comments an my freind Paul took the pics an ive seen paul took a few on his phone an they look better pics so i will load them on here if can find out how to download them from email an yes another freind Neil vided her to put on utube sailin but it will be only a couple of minutes due to them fuses blowin am makin the ship inert an no go as she had to be hauled back in by hand which was a big dissopointment to me but as they say rome wasnt built in a day so nor will my tiger setback stop me but its so damm annoyin as the fuses only blow when she is in the water with water load on the props so causein more load on them motors an resulant more amps load to blow them fuses so untill i can get some new motor she is U/S
An hi John an Andy well ive found the four yr journey went very quick indeed as to me it doesnt seem that long ago since i was cuttin out her keel an hull frames an yes i hope to get all them bugs sorted out but its a job to know which motors to get as they will have to be fairly powerfull to propel her on the pond esp if there is a strong wind an then i maybe back to blowin fuses so instead of 40 amp fuses i'll have to get some 50 amp fuses an hope it dont catch fire which will be right up J/R 's street lol :rolling:Chris, your Tiger is simply wonderful. She looks like she's amused being in the water.
Sorry for the motor troubles but I'm sure next time everything will be fine.
:smiling2: so really its all gonna be trail an error mostly error i think boy ive never had this kind of trouble before as i could then buy the groupner 600 motors easy but now they have stopped makin them i will have to take pot luck on some new motors an in this case it may be that the motor shaft wont line up with the prop shaft then more probs
Many thanks Andy but i'll only be content with her when i have fitted new motors an stopped this fuse blowin bussiness an hope she will sail for longer an im not impressed with her 50ft turning circle may have to some how extend the rudder
CHEERS Pete ive just sent a email off to the bottom chap as its a new one asking how much p& p many thanks Pete for finding these up youre a pal
Many Thanks Chris yes im pleased with the ship but not them motors an they are comin out tomorrow but Pete above has found up two motors an may be able to get away with the two groupners an two johnsons that are in still an it looks like you ran out of thumbs lol an yes i salute you to Sir lol
