THANKS Garry yes had a look at page 12 an i see that you have a Becc ESC to work one motor each what amperage are your ESC 'S ? an yes yours is a very easy system to work but in my tiger ive got to work one ESC too work 2 motors an this is where the ESC 'S get hot an have you taken out a red power lead on one of your ESC 'S lead that goes to the R/X as if not they will destroy each other ? OR HAVE YOU GOT TWO ESC 'S in her them blue units one for each motor ?

POW'd be the first to be sold off!!!! You think you had propulsion problems!!!!
I mean - who builds not one but two advanced carriers and not have enough aircraft! Should have gone cats and traps!!!!

Just learning from a few of my naval sources POW is being stripped so QE can be supplied with the parts if needed!!!!!

 

[boatman]

TBH Doug i dont like either of them carriers with seperate bridge an flyco as the yanks operate the nimitz class with just one island so more room for aircraft if they can afford them

I have to say the idea of keeping air operations away from the fish-headery a good idea. And regards aircraft. We have enough deck space for the very limited aircraft that could fit on her, there is only the F35 that is capable other than rotary. And the Invincible class was big enough for helicopter operations.
We should have used the billions to buy more general purpose frigates not two pink elephants.

 

[Jim R]

That's excellent Garry. You must be very pleased and relieved that all went well. A real tribute to all the hard work that you have put into building her.

Well I was going to say white but with todays progressive pro female RN I thought I'd settle for pink instead!!!!!. What's in a colour? (Glad I was in before females on board became more popular!!!) Not sexist, I just think in such confined spaces it makes for a volatile atmosphere).

WELL Doug i dont really think young ladies should be in the firin line but just my opinon as me an me boaty mates went over HMS DAUNTLESS when she came to gr yarmouth an there were very prity young ladies in that ship an to think what will they be like when an exercept missle comes in an they are badly burned if they are not killed outright just dont seem right to me
