        Hello allan

        I use 2 Johnson 12v motors with reduction gearing and two 40amp electronic speed controllers. The model sails at a great scale speed.

              Hello Allan

              Sorry for the delay in replying but I’ve been a little under the weather, yes I used a universal primer suitable for glass fibre on the hull after first gently wet and drying the gelcoat with 600grit paper to give a key.

              There are a few photos of the trent in my gallery but none of the interior, I took this one when I hit the bank at Runcorn after the radio set suffered an electronic bypass. The motors, speed controllers and fans were all “shaken up”

              http://www.modelboats.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/images/member_albums/1859/Internal_damage_(Small).jpg

              I can’t take a current photo as the hull is empty due to my doing a refit prior to the Birchwood show.

              If you want any more help please don’t hesitate to ask but just remember I might take a couple of days to get back to you.

              All the best

              Paul
