            Welcome to the forum Michael. If you can make a static model then you can make a RC version! Plenty of people here to help with questions.

            As Ray says photos are definitely useful.

              Hi

              A good place to start maybe to think about what sort of boat appeals to you……eg. Tug, Warship, Racer, Sailing craft etc ?

              I think there are beginners models in most of these categories.

              My basic rules are :-

              1. Keep it simple (at least to start with).

              2. Do a float test in the bath /kiddies paddling pool.

              3. Radio – go for 2.4 GHz so you don't have to worry about interference.

              The experts on here (like Ray, Ashley, Malcolm & Co. ), will guide you through all the details and choices.

              Happy modelling,

              Dave

              Forgot to mention Richard !

                  c'mon guys, we are trying to encourage people like michael……just listen to the positive post of Ray and Richards………..all the rest of these comments are just putting doubts in michaels mind.

                  michael……….i have carried a 5' long warship on the back of a BMW motorcycle crossways before now…………give or take the odd rear view mirrow or two………….so you just get stuck in mate………all problems met on the way are surmountable.

                  enjoy your build.
