HI ALL well i had a good think on what is the best course of action to sort out this motors problem an thinkin on what Tim said about that all the wires some maybe good an he was right as i tested them an an wired them back into the motors wirein harness an found that there were 3 lose connections which i have tightened up an to my amazement one of the main feed wires on the ESC to the motor the solder had broken so i fixed that an now im pleased to say that all 4 motors work ok but had enough today but tomorrow will go back to man cave an put all the other wires an the gun fire unit back into the ship so SUCCSESS

No need for the London diversion, just send her into the broads area, that'll confuse her for years! :surprised:;)Or to be really shot of her - to the Elmhams triangle in North Suffolk/South Norfolk (really can get lost in there!) ;) ;)

It's ok Chris, she's got to find us first - knowing Norfolk and Suffolk countryside, plenty of places to get her lost in ;) from N. Walsham, Paston Street, Wroxham, the Elmhams, Mundford, Grimes Graves, Lynton, etc. etc.:upside:

Kidney stone? OUCH!!!
Pete
YES Pete it is ouch really painfull so cant do much on tiger today all i managded was to drill an fit the big 5 atteanas on the main supers struckure an 6winches on the deck what a poor effort
 
Not good with the kidney stone - hope that you'll pass it without too much bother. :thumb2:
Yep - Grimes Granes is a fairly spooky place - looks very 'moon-ish' with shallow dips and craters on the surface, but it's the ones that are open for visitors that blow the mind - bearing in mind that it was THE place in the UK for top quality flint from the stone age through to when flintlock rifles stopped being used, and the two or three that are open were dug back in the stone age with just the antlers and shoulder blades of animals! https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/s...e3984af-a1c8-40dc-bc3f-53ee091bc92a&qo=navTop

So sorry to hear this Chris. I hope it passes and is not serious, so you can get back to normal shortly my friend. Also glad to see you have gotten the wiring troubles fixed and all 4 props are spinning again. I do think it is a little too late to mount up sails on her for the maiden voyage, especially if there is no wind... Please take care of yourself and best wishes to Jen.

Prost and Gute Besserung
