Hi a newby to this forum but not modelling my first model was a free running Air boat with a Tiapan ( Ausie made) 2.5cc diesel motor built in '64 yes i'm an old fart.
A few pic's of my latest build a WW1 Sub Chaser, only the electrics need to be refitted, I did a complete install before I put the safety rails in prior to painting.

And 2 pic's of my pride and joy bought and built as a project with my Dad to help him through a breakdown after a serious work place accident 35 years ago the Schooner Emma C Berry from a Sterling Models kit, the motor was installed around 1990 as i was living in a towm where the only suitable water was too small to turn her around under sail.
She operates on 4 Ch being the original Futaba FP6D 6 channel circa early '70's, Rudder, Motor 540 style with Futaba ESC also from the early '70's, 2 home made sail winches using archimedes screw principle controlling Main sail on one and the Jib & foresail on the other.
