Latest model

this is a model i purchased over ebay , i won it the same weekend that ellesmere port was on.

she come scomplete witha hardwood carry case and had futaba 3ch rc .
teh rc was older futaba medallion type so i have removed this and the bobs board speed control and refiited a new elctronic speed control and 40 Mhz rc equipment.

at only 16 inches long it does need favourable weather to sail here, it was a bit choppy at the local pond when these pics where taken but she faired well.
at one point full throttle was holding her staionery into the headwind, this is when i decided it was time to remove her from the water.

This is a Graupner TöN 12 kit . running a monoperm motor and a 1.2 Ah 6 volt battery.
