    Just got back from the lake. Conditions were good tjough chilly.The forward ballast issue that I corrected worked perfectly.The model was trim on the waterline.Temp was 2 degrees celsius with 27km NW wind gusts up to 30k.NC handled it with ease.I managed to get 2hrs run time just using a pair of SLAs.That was more than I expected running an ESC. No water got in so the pump was not needed.I ran the model steady conducting all kinds of running and maneuvers.The model has passed her seatrials successfuly.
    Now to prepare it for long winter storage.If lucky I may get another run with her.

    Hi everybody. Boy I am still trying to get used to this site. My computer was in the shop for malware issues and when I got it back I had to try to get set up again on this new look of the RC Naval Combat forum. I am still trying to get used to it. Been posting on my smartphone on the ships through my FB page Titans of the Sea: RC Warships which also includes RC combat ships.

    Update on the NC. Well it is docked inside the house for the winter as there is no room for it in the shed . Montana and VU have take up the bench. The client also has decided that he will not be able to use the NC as he is running a new store and working so both activities does not allow time for his ship. He was extremely generous in giving me his ship instead . I am very very grateful for this as I was not expecting to keep it however it is here and I will take care of it.
