HI ALL well its been nr a year since she lastly sailed an i cant get on with TIGER due to waiting for parts to come.So i thought i had better use my time on getting NORFOLK ready to sail again as when she last sailed some lights had failed an one of my boaty mate said why dont you fit a servo morph on her hangar door as it was workin to fast. As well as she was covered in dust so the first job was clean her up with a dry paint brush an hover to suck up the dust an in the first pics she is all stripped down with her S/S all laid aside IMG_5505.JPG

NXT UP is the E.S.C to power an controll the MOTORS BAY an also beside it is the SMOKE UNIT eletronics unit as this unit converts the 12v feed into it an out come is 24V to power the water mist unit for the smoke lookalike an TIGER will hopefully have all these units an more fitted into her by the time she is finished IMG_5511.JPG
