    I got that video uploading on Youtube.Been a couple of hrs now and I am still waiting for Youtube to finish loading it. Should be ready by tomorrow, then you can see for yourself what I mean.

    I got the receivor ON/OFF switch installed in 'A' barbette. I cleaned up the hoses up front and back aft. I installed the deck latches. One drive battery is charged, the other is still charging. The Pump screen is installed so I won't have a bb jamming the outlet tube. It went around the impeller then was spit up the hose to the outlet ..amazing.

    What other surprises does this little craft have?

    Fantastic video. It turned on a dime. It was definately moving too fast. Which is a shame. That thing could run in shoot the side out of a bog boat and then get out of town just as quick. You definately do not want this thing hanging anywhere's close to you. It was just nasty

    Thanks Paul. The cost of the cannon is 30.00. CHARLIE sells it for a little more but 30 is fine with me.

    I finally got the PE on Youtube. Under PE SEA TRIALS.

    It came from the "Silent" ERA of films. LOL.

    They are the smallest Charlie had. I suspect as 4 blades they should get good acceleration

    [:)]I hope to get the ship out for another test run weather permitting, with the new props that Paul supplied. If they don't knock off 4 seconds off her speed than will have to install 2 extra shafts and install drap props(discs).
    I will get the pics of the run.
