Hi Larry

Wow, that photo is a blast from the past – I haven’t run that model for about two years!

The plan was found from an old site dating from the early 50s of Popular Mechanics.

It was a tethered runner with an ic engine. The plan was A4 format which I enlarged. Offhand I cant remember the scale but the boat’s length is about 75cm – I relied quite heavily on an article in MB about the Billings model.

I’ve got a Speed 700 motor in it running on two 9.6V NiMh packs. The prop is a Graupner plastic 2 blade 40mm.

The boat goes like stink with a huge rooster tail – it’s great going in a straight line, turns are a bit more of a problem!

I’ts been sitting on the shelf waiting for me to summon up the courage to go brushless- also I’ve been busy with various other builds .

As you gather the paint scheme is nowhere original!!

Pierre
