    Great pictures. Do you have high-res copies anywhere? Would love to be able to see a few things closer-up

    I always delete the photos from my card when downloading them to the pc.
    Then I re-size them so that I can load them here.
    I supposed I might be able to re-size them to the original size on my pc, and then
    put them on a disc or something.
    I have never tried to blow them back up.

    Mikey,

    If you have plenty of hard drive space, I'd suggest downloading your pictures from your card to the computer into a folder called "original size" or something like that. Then you can use Irfanview (a speedy image editor) to resize and copy those photos into another folder called "resized for web". You can resize everything at once to 750 pixels wide, which works for uploading here. This way it's easy to upload, but you still have the full sized originals.

    Right now, it sounds like you don't have the original size anymore to pass along.

    That's too bad. Once the image is downsized and saved you've lost information. Trying to restore the downsized image to the original size just results in garbage usually. I agree with Keri's suggestion if you have the space available.

    The Roanoke is fine, I did have some radio issues because a little water got in the receiver box, but that was easily corrected. The rudder servo had to be replaced and most importantly, I made sure the battery could not shift again.

    hey mark,
    Why did she turn over like she did, I know you use a 6v battery in her, but have you been looking at maybe going to the RC car batteries?? I am with my LST!!!

    The Roanoke turned over because the battery could move a little from side to side. I don't plan to change batteries, I need the weight of the current battery plus the ship is very reliable as it is set up.

    You know, I really like that camo scheme on the Richelieu vs the blue/gray and all gray schemes. It seems to break up the hull outline rather well.

    I better make some templates to reproduce it easier. Heh.
