How cool is this !

I’ve seen plenty of radio controlled boats before but never an RC travel hoist…

Henry, can you check your link please

Henry, can you check your link please

I edited it a couple of times after posting. Should work now, I get a preview of the video in the thread.

You may need to refresh your chache.

Terrifiying lack of fenders!!

It works now...if you think about it, the real one down the port is also remote controlled with the operator holding the RC controller while he walks behind the crane

Burnham Yacht Harbour have had one for years.

So do MDL.

Models look good but a shame that they can't use the correct ensign on the boat.

Having owned a T34 for 20 years and know pretty much every inch of it, I have to say that the detail and accuracy on this model is incredible. There's one or two irregularities, but on the whole it's amazing.

Guard rails are a bit high and the bathing platform shower is missing. Otherwise, pretty good!

Where are the outdrives covered in barnacles and weed?

 

[Sandy]

What scale is the hoist?

Was the skipper's shirt accurate for a Fairline owner? . Joking aside , that must have been a lot of work?. Didn't spot any scatter cushions though?‍

Beat me to it on the shirt comment ??

Wouldn‘t you just kill for a go on those models.

Mind you, that bow thruster needs replacingbwith something a tad quieter

 

[colhel]

Hate to admit it but I've seen a few rc travel hoists, excavators, fork lift trucks etc on YouTube ?

Give the controller a bit of Hamble current surge!

 

[jfm]

Very good!

I think there have been links on here to that boat before, but not the travel hoist.

I have a rather nice Squadron 78 model, given to me very kindly by Fairline when they stopped production of Sq78. I think it's 1:20 scale, so 1.2m long. No motors - it was for boat show displays - and if I had nothing better to do I should ship it to these guys in Germany and ask them if they would convert it to a working model

Presumably the jet drives are not a 100% accurate representation either?

I took the scale as 1:20 and with a bit of reverse engineering and a couple of days on CAD I think I've managed to recreate an accurate scale representation of a scatter cushion
