Harry, Like that a lot. Unusual subject. Is it propped at both ends? Ashley

Ho Ho Ho Ashley

Propped both ends, a little extra power, but, he drives it more scale speed.

I bought the Sea Commander he built, but, up the motor and decreased the prop size.

I ran it today only 24 Amps(in the water at full speed) on the D3548-1100kv,3s Lipo,60 amp ESC and 40mm 2blade prop.

I thought it looked good going along in the video (or at least, one video).

With a prop at both ends and separate motor AND rudder control you could get some interesting handling effects I am sure

She was on the second voyage but with the ballast in the hull not on the deck.

The both ramps work as well.

The rudder has an auto servo lock on the forward rudder.

The original colour was green with a red funnel but was changed when it arrived in Hobart to enter service.
