JT, Thank you very much. I've been building rc scale ships for over 40 years now. I love building all types of plastic models, and have been flying rc scale planes for 20 years now. RC ships can be somewhat cheaper than other types of rc models (they don't fall out of the sky), and I like the fact that you can copy, or design any type of boat/ship. Here are a few of my boats; all are 1/12th scale (1'=1"), range from 30" to 50". I have built larger, but age is catching up. I try to stay around 30"-36". All of my boat models are electric powered, and I try to use a sealed lead acid (sla) battery. I enjoy scratch building, kit bashing, and kit building model boats.
