Bancroft 1/72 Fletcher class destroyer

[SubDude]

I saw that too Casey.They must have gotten a decent number of them in as it doesn't say how many are left in stock yet. I really like mine.

I’ve been looking for one of these Bancroft or Aquacraft 1/72 Fletchers forever. Any ideas where to pick one up? Everyone seems to be sold out.

Motion has them again

[SubDude]

Any updates on when MotionRC will get the Fletcher in ?

They are back in stock.

Mine, surprisingly, has shipped and will be here Sunday. I may bring it to the regatta and get it ready at the hotel, if I have room in the SUV. 8 pounds of weight needs to be added too. I’m bringing another target to sell, so room is going to be tight.

Turning mine into the USS Johnston (DD-557). In Harms Way.

You can make David twitch and shudder if you sail it anywhere near one of his Russian boats! :)

Dave was playing with Steve’s last year buzzing underneath. Pretty fun to watch.

If I could have only depth charged him...

Mine was to be delivered by FedEx between 9:30 am and 4:30 pm. It arrived at 10:47…PM. I checked my email and up pops DELIVERED. I go to the front door and there it sits, half way off the porch. Not good to deliver that late.

Just check that box and packaging thoroughly for detached parts. I had to go back and check twice for parts that came off my tugboat. One was stuck to some packaging tape and I almost missed it. I will be curious to compare mine to yours. They may have upgraded the ESC.

Nothing missing. One ladder came lose and a hook detached from a rigging.

Very good. What is your overall impression of it?

Well, I fell in love the moment I saw yours. I built a Lindberg kit for RC decades ago. She didn’t like wind though. The Fletcher Class has always been my favorite ship. But I digress. I can’t find a thing I dislike, except the small battery.
