Oh boy, the plate is becoming full!, need to save some money, because those suckers here want on every imported product tax
Nice trick with the switch on the ch 5 servo, this way you free up another channel for other things
I've seen the vids, how big is the turningradius?, any info on the diving handling and speed?

David,
Turningradius with those boats in real life was a issue, but those where ocean boats, so turning quickly was not a thing, first get my grubby hands on the model itself to see what i've got.
Then Manfredize the boat, i've allready gathering stuff to forfill my Rube Goldberg needs.
Not sure if i want to follow with running the motors in the wet, i can allways build a gearbox for two shafts, we'll see, if everything goes well i've got me a nice runner, and offcourse i will document the journey.

You're a god-damn artist! This is art, Mr. Merriman.
This needs to be published, not only digitally but as an actually book, as on paper.

The term 'art' is a catch-all word used by untalented people desperate to be regarded as 'special'. 'Artists' today are no talent bums who work to convince others that they have some sort of very special 'gift' of expression.
The word 'art' -- as it's applied today -- no longer has a specific meaning.
'Art' used to identify product produced by talented men of 2D and 3D photo-real representations; not a urine filled Mason jar containing a crucifix, or a canvas covered with smeared Elephant ****.
I. Am. No. ****ing. Artist!
I. Are. Craftsman. I employ shop skills to produce functional, real-life looking objects.
'Art' is the stuff of today's 'Influencer'' frauds who have convinced idiots that they have a useful means of expression.

Just wish someone would make a hard copy of your work. I prefer a physical book over electronic. Want to read something even when the power goes out or the EMP destroys all e-devices.

You want a ****ing book? Copy all my ****, have it bound, and put it away for the apocalypse (it'll be one of the three Books Geoge takes back with him to share with the Eloi, no doubt -- as the Morlock Water & Power company would have been put out of business by then).
A pointed question to you kids: How many of you know what a spokeshave is?
The Prosecution rests.
