    I like clean and well built ships. Painted parts do look good and gives it that finished look.

    That ship looks so nice inside. You and Dave just make them look so nice. I feel so inadequate.

    Lou it is still classified as a pig boat.

    John it's the size of pig that helps ;)

    Yes, those are the BC solenoid prototypes they are installed in both mine and Austin's Seydlitz. The final revision samples are headed to me as I type this. So... production of them will be soon :) looking hopefully for a fall release

    Charley, I can see you offering a "drop-in electronics package" in the future.... a module like you have above configured w/ ESC, pump control, and 1-7 solenoids & test switches. Plug in the POS & NEG, hook up all the (clearly labelled of course) connectors, and put the boat on the water.

    I like the sound of that. Almost a radio not box to go. Just add ship and go. That would really help my ship building capability.

    My plan for future E consoles would be mount the XT connectors in the box and for each ship you leave the wiring as ships are different.

    Move the console from ship to ship no wires except for battery leads

    Wow, very nice. Will the 3DP super be prototypes for production molds? (Or be available at some point?)

    Well the Seydlitz is a great ship :) with her at Statesboro.
    Turns good, I love the 24 sec!! Nearly hard to kill with so much impenetrable area. Stern deck has to be water tight as she rides low in the water. The magnetic deck seal on the FG deck is sweet
    I find its optimal weight to be around 22.5lb

    Ok did some rework on her turning after the boro battle. She seems decent now
