Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Water Models / June 2004Mr. Darby
I installed the Bow wieght tonight, and am waiting for the glue to dry. If all goes well, tomorrow, I'll launch the Tug tethered by a fishing pole, in case it konks out on the Maiden Voyage. Wish for luck!! Scott The Mr Darby is one boat that I have always wanted to build. How difficult was the project? Is there a lot of time invested in shaping/sanding/prepping etc.... all of those little metal gizmo's? It looks like there are a ton of little bits & pieces. How many hours do you have into it? Any photo's? Good luck with your maiden voyage! JOE > I installed the Bow wieght tonight, and am waiting for the glue to dry.

I'll put up another post to ask. BTW, I bought the boat when it was 90% complete. All the hull, deck,and electronics were in the boat.

I think its automatic, cause when I looked in there the other day, I noticed 2 wires connected to an automotive car fuse (you know the blade style? ) taped together along side of the bilge pump motor. I guess when the 2 blades contact the water inside, it will activate. I haven't been able to get it to so far with the transmitter.With all the weight in there, this things getting HEAVY!! Must be near 80 pounds. If I take the battery out, its a little easier to tote. Scott > You DID install a bilge pump, right? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Wish for luck!! > > Scott |
