Good question. It is a motorized pond sailor. The sails are fixed at a loose beat. There are 2 channels for rudder and motor. The schooner is maneuvered into the wind direction under power. With 7" draft it can be operated while I stand in the water. A real RC sailboat has 2 channels, rudder and sail servo and much deeper keel etc. It is also not a "fine scale" model but it was fun to build and is really fun to operate. Brian RCWH

Hi, I love your tugboat. I'm going to start a tugboat during the winter and I was wondering, is the plastic propeller really strong?
@RCWorkboatHavenАй бұрын
I have never had a problem with these nylon props. They are inexpensive and tough. Probably the shaft would bend before the prop suffered damage. Brian RCWH

Great boat! I think you might be having more fun than allowed by law. I'm scratch building a 50-inch tug now that is very similar. I'm about to fiberglass the hull this week. Hope you post more. Enjoy all your videos.

They could be in a custom build like this. I designed the mast length to 34" so it would fold down onto the deck. Then the main boom length folded had to fit that length etc. Brian RCWH

No argument there! The sound unit is borrowed from the RC Crawler hobby. Sounds more real at low RPMs. But the sound adds to the fun in spite of the lack of authenticity when in operation and it attracts young curious people. Action attracts youth. Brian RCWH

Hi Brian.Another beauty to add to your collection.I scratch built a 1940ish side fihing trawler from an magazine article in Scale Ship Modeller.During covid I decided to give her a much-needed overhaul.I am looking for some 1/43 scale deckhands.Any suggestions? Rod Ransome,Port Hope
@RCWorkboatHaven4 ай бұрын
Thanks Rod. If you search eBay.ca for "1:43 scale train figures" there's a lot. Looks like the vendors intermix 1:48 scale (American 0 scale) with 1:43 (Diecast scale). Maybe some of these could be heated with a lighter and bent to different shapes. Should be fun to paint them up as sailors. Brian RCWH

I'm a sculptor. I would make a waxed wooden keel and use this to make a two part mold. Pour lead in and you have a perfect keel that needs little or no finishing (fairing). The mold could be used over and over. Michael
@RCWorkboatHaven4 ай бұрын
I think that is a great method you describe. My intention in the video was to have a method using steel or lead pieces to form any shape keel without a precise mold. No melting of lead is required. Of course the keel weight is not as concentrated and your suggestion would likely be better for a racing design. Thanks for giving a different approach. Brian RCWH

Hi. I have a Slipway rc boat that requires two 12volt motors. Which do you think is better , two 775 motors or MFA 540/GEARED 1/6 ? Thank you
@RCWorkboatHaven4 ай бұрын
Slipway has nice models for sure. On my Haven 34 hulls I have used a standard 540 dc motor because they are inexpensive and the running gear is easy to find on eBay. Electronics to run these motors are also easy to replace as well. One motor will push my hull far over hull speed. My objective is always to keep RC motors, running gear and electronics simple and affordable. For a much larger model say 5 or 6 feet long I would be tempted to look at 775 motors but the associated mounts, running gear, batteries and electronics would probably be more heavy duty. And possibly harder to find and more expensive. On the other hand the 775 is a tough powerful motor and may be more in line with your build. Brian RCWH

Love your video's. I've been into work boat models about 50 years and don't have to tell you how awesome all of yours are. Green Loctite is great to set bushing and bearings into shafts. At your skill level and maybe you have already, Consider a mini lathe. I've had my "cheap" Chinese mini lathe about 5 years and it's so useful. Lately I've been making scale props. Been going back and upgrading my boats. Highest I've made so far is 5 blades. Thanks for posting. Things like this will pull young blood into the hobby.

You could trim the front top ( height) down a bit or move weight forward. I have no idea really but this looks a little high in the front? I am about to learn brazing myself, good luck with your rc.
