Re: Post your Rc boat Pics here
I built one of those Midwest Fantail Launches last year. My very first boat and wooden kit build. Back when I was flying, it was all ARFs.
Side view. I painted her in White Star colours. http://i.imgur.com/T3IxcVn.jpg Steam module installed. These Midwest Model IVs are really too underpowered once you put it in water. The hockey tape is a temporary experiment to try and increase power output by limiting heat loss. It does seem a bit more peppy on dry runs outside the boat. The engine runs on sterno (ethanol) gel. Same stuff they use in chafing dishes. Yes, the drive shaft is a bit long on this one. New shaft because the old one was a bit bent. I cut it a bit too long, so it needs to be trimmed. http://i.imgur.com/jCFBIme.jpg Coal box hides ballast, the oar is just for decoration. Of course with the steam engine being underpowered and generally unreliable, I had to improvise. Behold, the electric module. http://i.imgur.com/9hIOcqT.jpg The EP module is powered by an Electrifly airplane motor, 25 amp Hobby King ESC, and a 2S battery. I'll eventually replace the ESC with one that's reversable. http://i.imgur.com/uo0c7HI.jpg Bonus: My Victoria Yacht. She doesn't get out much because there's nowhere near by to sail her. http://i.imgur.com/iVAjxmo.jpg
