VC Sir,

Any possibilities of offering bigger size models, since I feel more inner space is required for converting the boats into full fledged r/c ones.

Trying my best for a PT Boat of 750mm + length. However, that will take some time. Will keep you posted on that.

Perhaps, due to an oversight on my part, none of the metal parts (Prop, shaft, stuffing tube and rudder) have been included in the kits as they did not arrive from the manufacturer. I am not sure about this, but I don't recall seeing them as I packed the kits individually.

Would request all those who bought them to please confirm once you open the package. If they are missing, I will send them to you immediately.

My apologies in advance.

Here's my progress so far  :hatsoff:

I got some of the trimmings wrong , 1 because i didnt factor in the warp that the wood might have , two i didnt have anything but my eyes for an alignment aid for the ribs.

so ya , the boat is a little warped and im hoping to take care of it during sanding and finishing.

also am thinking of turning this into a sail boat , with a carbon fiber mast and a main sail.
does anyone know where I can get those wench servos ?

Good evening Friends..first of all i have a humble request to VC Sir..VC Sir, actually these kits aren't cheap boat kits..surely all it are value for money..equally for a beginner and for expert model maker..its too simple to assemble, i took 20 minutes each, but stunning after finish..too stable in water..and flying over water..and i am enjoying my boating with these kits..and i added lots of imagination to each hull, and one is finished as a fishing trawler and one is as a speed boat. i will post all of my building procedure here, within time..and i hope all you also may be building your kits..

Viski, we can simply drill a hole in to any hull, or in to any airframe, by attaching a thin round needle file to 12 mm chuck drill, with speed controller.

roopeshkrishna

here is the basic finish..i will post a detailed log of these boats in time..i also added a dummy engine..still working with decals and lights..

wish you all a nice build.. :thumbsup: :hatsoff:

Regret to inform all concerned that I have cancelled and recalled all the consignments of accessories and a boat kit for Coolprathesh that were being sent through Professional Couriers.

The consignments had been collected more than 3 days ago and I have just found out that they were still sitting at the Couriers office. No reasonable explanation was provided by the staff.

Will despatch them by tomorrow latest. Fresh details will be updated.

My apologies to all concerned and I thank you for your patience. I have sent out individual PM's to all 5 concerned members.

not a problem. I know the courier ppl, have being sending couriers myself for some time now. I know how they behave. Professional is not at all professional and DTDC takes money and destroys your consignment.
Do keep me posted about the progress.
