Outstanding Chris, gotta a lot of catching up to do on the forum, im guessing you had her in the water by now,hope it all went well.

HI Mark yes she sailed ok an i'll post a few pics for you to see her on the water but not finished as she is still on hold at the moment till new yr as had a lot of trouble WITH the ESC 'S X4 as there was so much power goin through them that the BECC wires melted from the power causein heat so see how she will go in my next attempt hope you like her on the water

THANKS Andy yes she will sail again next warship day an she sails fairley good an very stable but still has a large turning circle even with the exstened rudder an bow thruster as she is a very heavy model an thank goodness i dont have to lift her into the pond as plenty of willing helpers
cheers

Great result. You must be both proud anc releived. i am sure it creates quite a stir where ever you take it.

It has been a great build to follow - a real education as well as being entertaining. thanks for all of the posts.
