the running gear that will be fitted on the rc will be this http://www.howesmodels.c...Product.php?ProdID=1835 it wasnt really a good start, the transmiter, wasnt working, so i sent it back, received it just 10 mins ago, now it works, but can get teh rest of the thing to go!...uhm...last time i checked i wasnt blonde...but obviously still a dumb portuguese! haha another thing i have noticed is that it hasnt got a rudder! haha...it turns by stoping on of the props...oh well...will either fit it like this and will get it upgraded after or...depending on the mood may have a unit fitted with rudder... yes i know the pt has normally 3 engines...but to be honest i reckon this will deliver enough punch to get it going, can always fit an extra dummy prop just for the look. if id want a plane id build one, not a boat ready to have wings fitted! on the bench

I oncs built a Groupner..(not sure thats how its spelt)a four foot model of a boat called the Moonraker.a luxury cabin cruiser  .it was plastic and wood construction....but it had 3 impellers on just like the real thing..  ..it cost someone a small fortune ...i'd loved to if seen it on the water after all that hard work...but alas it ended up in a display case...

Ive just started the San Fransico II from model space quite a few of the keel bulkheads were warped ive had to soak and press them for best part of a week now but have glued and pinned the decks to them so hopefully they should stay true. also after visiting a car-boot sale to day i bought a 1990's Airfix version of the cutty sark with no box or destructions for a fiver! all the spuces seem to be full and in order, now thats going to be a challanging build
