    JC White made quite a few different cannon designs. If you are referring to the plans he drew and are currently being sold on the BDE website, then I don't know of any. If you are interested in his other works, then I know of a few. Can't say I can put a date on any of them, but they're all pretty old. And most are working just as good as the day they were built [:D]

    Yeah, they are mostly to the plans. The torp guns that came with the boat didn't work so well when adapted for my clubs rules. They were set to fire two balls, and did not fire well with just one loaded. The set screw wasn't a set screw, he used a curtain pin heated up and then pressed through the plasic. Neat, but not terribly adjustable :) The fixed rear magazine has worked well, but will doublefire if it is way out of level front to back.

    Only real trouble I've had was when the mp7 mount broke on one.

    There are some JC White tech articles up on the updated Naval War College MKII on RCWarships.org. Go to the NWC MKII, and search on JC for his articles. There are two for guns. One for the single barrel, also more commonly known as "Arizona", and the other for the rotating multi-barrel cannon.

    Cheers
