Roopesh, it seems like the LED lights are already there (pic LFB-1.jpg, LFB-2.jpg)! Pl ignore my earlier post. I was wondering how a Master Modeller like you missed out on that detail. I was wrong. My mistake, I jumped the gun!

in the hands of Gokul,my ever favorite ship and aero model student, a Naval NCC Cadet, winner of the special gold medal, for ship modeling, showing the sheer size of the craft..she is 3 feet long, proportional wide, but weighs very little..thanks for the thermocol and foam board along with paper..powered by a simple 6 volts, 2500 mA battery pack, she runs about 2 hours in a single charge..

actually my first intention was to power her by my Futaba FASST..but afraid of moisture..i was unwilling to test fortune with expensive machines..so i tried with Hobby king 6 channel radio..woow..its a nice machine, value for money, indeed, and solid base of 2.4 GHz, and gave me a best range even in water..

Friends..now all you can see how simple to make a craft..i hope i could inspire many of you, as all you inspires me..happy..follows...

roopeshkrishna · August 22, 2011, 10:50:06 PM

Friends..all of my efforts to make this craft is dedicated to the brave Men and Women who served the RNLI, and brave Men and Women still serving in RNLI..we can imagine the sheer determination of all brave human beings, serving RNLI, to save lives, while risking own life..

roopeshkrishna · August 24, 2011, 08:47:18 PM
