Just successfully completed "Sea trials" at King Lear Lake, the 50inch Gaby C reached an impressive 17mph (15 knots) in windy conditions. Powered by two brushless motors and 55mm props. Named after two of my grandchildren Gaby & Connie. All hatches can open and cabins can be illuminated and features a working 'radar'.
Final sanding done stuffing tubes and chines fitted.
Power train changed from brushed to brushless with lipos due to over heating.
