Hi Guys,
Well after having been itching to make a start but having had no time over the Titanic centennary events ,(See pic of Wallace Hartley's memorial) things are finally calming down a bit and I actually managed to get a few free hours yesterday to make a start on the Gato.
So far I have glued together the two halves of the hull and assembled the caswell torpedo tube assembly for the bow. And what a fine bit of kit it is too! Im not installing working torps just now - I want to concentrate on just getting the thing finished and on (under!) the water, but I do want to incorporate all the basics that I will need later.
After following some good advice from you guys on here, I invested in some new radio gear - the Futaba FC 16. Im just waiting for a message to get my sub driver paid for and then I can start on that side of things.
Quick question - what speed controller do folks reccomend for this boat?
Thanks guys,
Nige
