That is a worthy stand-alone model in its own right mate! Good recovery as well!

That's a pretty beefy fuse you've got in there Chris. Looks like a 30A - that must be a fair few watts going through the system power-wise.
Loving the updates. I think we all need plenty of notice for the maiden voyage so we can all get along and cheer from the bank.....

HI Nick yes the inline fuse is 30 amps an there are three all told the one that can be seen an two more 30 amp fuses in the glass topped fuse box just to be on the safe side in case of a power surge as the ESC are rated at 40 amps each but to be on the safe side fuses are 10 amps under so they will or should blow in stead of causeing exspensive damage to the eletronics but well spotted Nick nothing up with your eyes then an glad you like these updates on the state of build as its been an still is a long time comin but im getting there an yes it would be nice to see you all at the launching but id hide up in case she sinks lol

WELL HI Jim just its gonna be a head scratcher with all them wires but better to have enough than run out isnt it i may not use them all but then i can double up on them so they will still get used but i learnt my leasson on norfolk build on that i dint have enough wires so had to refit out another plug with enough wires so more soldering an no not a nightmare jim just gonna be a head scratcher as all the wires are numbered so i know which wire is which at each end but yes i really got to think what i want workin so a list is to be made out soon as i keep forgetting things now

My missus Kate is generous towards my model making Chris - but - her knitting skills are absolutely amazing! Like you and Jen I suspect we complement each other very well (and long may they remain so!) Fish 'n' chips? - you're spoiling her mate, take care, it'll be a full roast dinner next ...!
