        That is a stunning model. All the electric gubbins is way, way beyond me.

            AN HI Jim thanks for sayin she looks stunning an the holliday makers thought so to but as for eletrics well im still learning as tiger will have a lot more in her if everything goes ok but thats all still in the future an thats if i can work it all out as at the moment im like you the eletrics is all beyond me untill i get that far an then i'll have to dream up the eletrics an how it will work as im hopein to get a 14 channell R/C set for her so plenty of workin features if possible
            an thank you for havin a looksee
            all best

              Looks fantastic Chris. If you know anyone with a drone (who is willing to break almost all of the rules), you could get some cracking pictures and videos of her on the water.

                Thank for taking time to do the pics Chris. Norfolk looks amazing on water. I'm sure Jen was busy answering questions all day when people saw your amazing build making way. Excellent stuff, thanks again.
