Hi,

I'm looking to build an rc model boat from scratch for my nephew and am looking for some basic tried and tested ideas to run electric power.

Ideally i'm looking for something based on a pilot/cabin cruiser type style.

I've bought a copy of the Feb issue of model Boats and like the simplicity of the UTE project with plans but wondered if model Boats had done any similar feature and plans sets in past issues so I have a bit more of a choice.

Many thanks in advance.

Chris,

Have a look through the previous covers and contents of issues of Model Boats here: **LINK**

All the free plans and plan features are illustrated on the covers and you can usually get the back issue.
