HI ALL well the date for tigers launch is still on wheather permittin as i was still again havin eletric probs on them motors as i wanted to have all four motors running an then hit a switch on my T/X to cut off the back set of 2 motors so she can run on just 2 motors for enconomy sailin an it dint work before as when i swiched off the back motors yes the front motors went ok but when i came to switch the back motors on again no joy but today i had her all four motors running an cut out the back ones an then switch the back ones into the circut again an hooray now all 4 motors go again ok dont know what i did but it must be the eletronics but im now very happy with her just how i wanted it looks like she decided to play along lolchrisb

HI ALL well as there are only about 2 wks to go for tiger's launch ive been thinkin on how i can know on the T/X what lever sticks or switchs does what on her so ive numbered them all from 1 to 14 with red numbers on the T/X an a chart thats stuck by double sided sticky tape on the back of the T/X so all ive got to do now is check the number on the T/X against THE number on the chart an i will know straight away what i will be workin on her while hopefully she sails ok an here a shot of the T/X transmitter with the numbers on an chart an no 12to 14 still are free channells to use on whatever i can think up linkpic of T/X with its numberes an chart

Crikey I was looking at your image of the hull wiring and thought 'I bought a Dreadnought project that looks like that last year!

AN Last pic as she dint sail for many mins as she kept blowin 40 amp fuses an im fairly sure ive got some bad motors in so im goin to change them for better motors when i can get some as the ones i used came from my brother as he does eletric flight an he did say there might be some probs with them  but i treid them an ran them an they seemed ok but when on the water with water prop load then it blew them fuses but just on the motor my brother gave me an the back johnsons went ok but she was slow sailin when she was ok before the fuses blew an terrible turning circle must have been 50 ft so im not happy with her an she is back in drydock for modifications
