Dear Reg
I am new to the wonderful hobby of model ship building, currently busy with the Mystique by Corel. I am very encouraged by your web site which has been of great help. I am an active 72 year old, a fly fisherman and ex marine engineer, both steam turbines and diesel. Hence my unusual query.

I wish to build a model sailing ship, or fishing trawler, that has the capability of being adapted to radio control, preferably electric. I hope I'm not being a nuisance in asking this unusual question.
Please keep well.

Kind regards
Edwin


SMH Responds Ed, over the years I've done a lot of model shipbuilding, I have yet to attempt anything radio controlled and with my MS it's unlikely. I did in intro article on RC ship modeling you'll find it here

RC Wooden Model Ships
by: Edwin

Good Day To The Team

Thank you for your responce.I am so encouraged meeting you all. Perhaps I should mention that my home is in Johannesburg South Africa. I have visited a number of web sites and hobby shops in our part of the world and yes there are many radio controlled models available,in the most part made of ABS, plastics etc. but my wish is to build a proper wooden model ship and then radio control it. I have started some research in this regard with the hope that I find a solution. I will report my findings to the team. Hopefully I will report success soon.

Kind regards to all
Edwin

Mines in the Basement - Oh My!
by: Anonymous

Hi Ed-

If I had your patience and skills, I would build both a Fishing Trawler AND a sloop. Hobby stores now sell a wide range of servos, motors, as well as mechanical linkages for R/C planes that will adapt to a trawler and sloop as your first rigs. I would go to a few hobby stores and look at the kits available - even , and especially, cheap plastic boat models. Plus all the little gizmos and motors - R/C Helicopters come in the box for under $50 - and put your Maritime Inspector Hat in the 'on' position. Think 'scavenger hunt'?Once you get the sloop rigged - with a motor , too, as well as ganging the sail and jibs - you'll get it, I bet. Lindberg has a Fletcher Class 'Blue Devil Destroyer' - mine's still in the box [pun intended - 'mines' - get it?]that is all plastic, straightforward, a 'classic' and is 'motorizable' with linkages and steering cams in the box. Sells for $65-80 or something. All you need is a tube of glue and RTV, some servos, R/C controller and an antenna. If you get your mines out of the box, and it floats and comes back to you, it is yours. The sloop - ahhh - that's another tale - when men were made of iron and models were made wood and iron. There's this guy Down Under who casts his own tiny cannon and shot, fuses, powder - unbelievable. IUt floats, all the rigging works, and it delivers a 'scale' broadside. The little tiny guns have to be secured - the whole bit. Comes with little tiny sailors . . .
