Doc if I can get a steam shovel to plane out, I should be able to run just about anything on the water.

Dont know about steam shovels, but steam hydros do the trick for me.
SASME ( South Australian Steam Model Engineers) in Adelaide have a spot they run these beasties.
As a little lad of ~5->9 I was hooked.. my old man went there for the scale steam trains, me the boats.
woohoo !

assuming you're following Paddy's lead and evolving from water.. why would your 51" steam shovel need a rudder ?
The pictured one is nice work, be nice on a waterborne craft...

Been collecting stuff for the 51" shovel, have most of the major components. What do you guys think of this rudder/strut system. I like the scale looks and adjustability.

I thought no one was watching. You seem to have all my movements covered Doc.
Launceston Show day tomorrow and I have a night off. Apart from having boats, planes and cars ready to go I will also be packing your Forerunner 101 ready to post on Friday. Sorry to keep you waiting on that but as you can see in the video whales move slowly.

Whales do not drive cars, nor do they fly.. that's to be noted, perhaps ?
Thx for the gps.. when it lands I'll treat it like my own !

Enjoy your rare time off if able .. !

I won a Garmin Forerunner 201 for $20 last week. People are almost giving things away as no one is buying. Lucky me.

Where ?
Im on the hunt for a small critter and ppl ask top dollar !
Do you really have space to own 2 ?

Sakura Zero S on 2s. Needs to be geared for higher speed as it breaks into wheel spin with full acceleration and spins its way down the road. Throttle has to be squeezed on slowly to get to this speed.

Is it amphibious ?
If no, I'll feign disinterest ..
