ok doke, a boat taht i`ve only had in the water once since obtaining her at ellesmere port exhibition.
i was informed it was brave borderer of teh brave class type torpedoe boats, however i have been unable to match this against the registration number as of yet.
the model is scratch built on a metcalfe fibreglass hull with some metal and resin cast fittings. powered by a single screw ( the real boats had triple screws) . she is aprox 34 inches long and handles very well. the bow lifts nicely on the plane with a 8.4v nicad and even a 7.2 v nocad pack. but she was built for 12v power !!!
powered by a robbe 700 bb turbo motor (direct drive) to an aggressive propellor she really does fly as the pics show.........
just to prove that the pic was not just a `lucky shot ` on a small wave, here`s another ......
in the water at full tilt there is only about 4 inches of hull in the water.
just like how one of these should go !!!
cheers
Adz..
p.s thanx to No.6 for the pics
