How does the mechanics of these work ?

i would guess two servos modded for 360 degree rotation and mixed to throttle and aileron channel

just a guess

I think two gear motors about 30 rpm will do. conrolling the motors will make the boat turn and move.

This one seems to use one motor with a bunch of gears :

guess it makes use of a low rpm motor as said earlier with a driving machanism like the one used for a car windscreen wiper.

Maharana had plans to build one.He also had designed the mechanism for this. Havent heard from him on this for a long time.

And an incense stick based smoke generator !

Awesome ingenuity, however, the fake / laboured American accent accentuated with an extremely heavy Malayalee Mother Tongue Influence is a total put off . She sounds exactly like Lola Kutty!

Great job done though on the modelling front.

P.s. No offence meant to any particular community, I just happen to be a Voice Accent Pronunciation Trainer / Neutraliser for the International Call Centre Industry, and I state this from a purely academic / professional point of view. My apologies if I I have hurt any regional sentiments. We Bengalis / Assamese score no better on the MTI parameter.
