Hats off, your models are fantastic. You also have an awesome back yard to play in. I'm envious, that is so nice.

Actually it’s very simple, perhaps you don’t have enough posts yet. Simply click on the photo icon above the text window, select and upload photos from you pad or computer. Took me just a few seconds to upload this for example.

Wow, is that the famous phoenix cloud? How many cells? And what size prop?
Of course you didn’t tell us exactly what batteries you are running..??

Those are amazing. Ever thought of building a pontoon? I've always wanted one for the local pond. I don't have your scratch building skills unfortunately.

RIB choppy water 2.jpgThanks, that is easier, and quicker, I was following the sticky on posting photos.
This is my 2nd aluminium Rib built during the lockdown. Here it has my own built outboard number two.

Still finding my way round this site, not easy, adding photos is very long winded….

This is a film of my outboard powering my Cobia sports fishing boat.

There were many failures along the way, but eventually I made it very satisfying.

Still finding my way round this site, not easy, adding photos is very long winded. I added a hydrofoil to my outboard, wow it made all the difference, quieter, on the plane quicker, and main benefit was it stopped ventilation.

That was cool.

I guess I wasn't on the full site.
