    Nikki, the link to the plans was posted on the first page of this thread, but here they are again: http://www.hnsa.org/doc/plans/ytb142.pdf. A boat like this would only need 2 channels, but yes, you could run it on a radio with more if you wanted to.

    In addition to the Actif already mentioned by Clark, you may want to check out the plans for the Buffle which is a little bit longer: http://www.servicehistorique.sga.defense.gouv.fr/02fonds-collections/banquedocuments/planbato/planbato/listebato/listebato.php

    I'll be bringing the boat to the Treaty Nats. It does have proper vulnerable windows, so I could run it as a convoy vessel. The problem is, I think one hit would sink - not necessarily just because I don't have a pump - but because I think one hit would roll it right over. So it might be there just for fun. On the other hand, if the Allies need convoy points...

    Mark,
    I know she's over-powered, is there a way to lessen that or what????

    hey Mark,
    If for any reason, you can't keep her, I'll take her :D
