          Hi Cas,

          Photos can be loaded via an album or from an external URL (e.g. Photobucket). There is no facility to load them directly into posts.. Check out the FAQ link at the bottom of the lefthand outside column for more info.

              Cas. Ditch the mechanical speed controller, get an electronic one. 25A capacity should be enough for the Marlin motor, assuming running on 12v (when you get a battery)

              Loads Perkasa`s out there for reference.

              My advice, get some crew on there, brings it to life.

              Ashley.

                  Hello Cas

                  My advice is more basic as I would make sure its watertight before doing anything else, check the hull joints and prop shaft for leaks.

                  Then decide what you want the model to do i.e. how may RC channels will you need.

                  Look at examples on the interweb and choose a paint job that you like.

                      Hi Cas

                      I use international yacht paints but any good quality exterior paint will do.
