Once I sort out the ballast, this may just solve itself then. Thank-you.

Counter-rotate. I have left and right turning props installed. 28mm 5 blade. I have since seen an image showing 6 blades....but...that's a rendering rather than reality...so....who knows if I'm right, or wrong again...(still?) LOL. There's been lots of changes I've had to make to get her...

Ballasting was a bit off - she was sitting a bit down by the bow, and moving the battery astern helped a bit on the second run. She was also a beast to trim for steering - one of them is off a bit and so she was maxed out on trim and just barely sailing a straight line. The twin shaft twin...

And, we have a test-float. She works! Needs some ballast adjustment, but I'm quite pleased with how she runs. Of note, the RC Controller lets me limit the speed automagically, and it's set to 35% of maximum. I bumped it up to 40% but the motors were warming up, so I went back to 35%. She...

Nope. Mine isn't as pretty as that. Mine are located in: - My Garage -CFRC Ottawa -BLog Halifax HQ

I accept that I was incorrect.

More likely to have been craned aboard.

My lightweight superstructure has been given it's first sand and a layer of primer to see what still 'needs some love'. This is the 270 gram ASA Aero print.

We had 1/3 scale full cut-away modules of the Victoria Class as a Full Length engineering display model. Not one museum in the country was interested in them.

A Lazy River now? STOP IT!! The horror!

Maybe we should get some of these:

Here's a sample of scrap brass sold by GC Surplus: https://gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=ach-shop&vndsld=1&srchtype=&lci=&sr=1&str=21&lotnf=1&lcn=733175&lct=L&sf=ferm-clos&saleType=A Note the attached criteria: Destruction criteria: the buyer must mutilate (e.g., crush, shred) or...

I'll suggest finding someone with a metal lathe that can spin out the basic shape for you from solid brass which can be hollowed out to fit onto your canes. Scrap military brass is required to be destroyed as a part of the sale contract - it must be mutilated or melted down, and while it gets...

Innocent until proven guilty. He has now admitted guilt. As such, the administrative measures which may have been prepared but not emplaced are likely now being pushed across the table for him to sign and acknowledge (this being Monday morning after the guilty plea.) I suspect his unit is...

The RCN also blew up Halifax a couple of times...(ok, only once was actually our fault.) So, Vol 3 ships is based on not letting that happen again. Let's put heavy mats at the foot of the ladders as we move small arms ammo onboard....then in case someone drops a can, they won't damage the deck...

I have a bare handful of rounds for my M-H, never fired the fullbore one. I have fired the .22 cadet one though. It's good fun and VERY accurate.

270 grams. Down from 585 grams in the 'lightened' PETG version, and way down from the original 700 gram version. This is the way. I'm going to do a minimum of painting/sealing/details on the ASA-Aero version. This will be my 'at sea' superstructure. The original heavy one will be my...

I'll inject an idea here. Why not grab some drones with the ability to drop HE and use those to deliver the charges? Happening daily in Ukraine....maybe the CAF could use this as a testing ground.

I put about a pound and a half of lead shot along the keel then epoxied it into place. That's about as low as I can get the weight, unless it was a sailboat with a skeg! The problem is the weight of the superstructure. Lightweight material should help. :-) Edit to add - I put about a pound...
