Arrow runHi all,I've had Arrow out on the lake again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-ELxWcw7YI This was the first proper run with the gas burner, and I'm favourably impressed. In the video the burner is running very gently, resulting in a speed I find appropriate for the boat. Very pleased!!! |

Good stuff Odilon. I like the plume of steam it trails behind it! | ||
| MooseMan |

Great stuff Odilon.
How about a thread on how to operate a remote controlled boat and hold a camcorder at the same time??? Damned clever stuff.

Simple.....I have multiple arms, being a minor Hindu deity
Nah....the Arrow only uses one stick (direction control only, I chickened out when it came to fitting speed control), and the video's basic stuff shot on my trusty Canon A70 compact. |

Need to try the Hindu bit, then I might just be able to do the jobs the missus wants done, all at the same time.

Yeah it looks great Mooseman.
I have my launch run in now, but constant wind ( the weather, not me) has stopped me from running it in the pool 
I have run out of ideas for connecting my Servo to it for steering without modifying it too much too, which is a shame. Looks like a bit of fishing line to steer it. As soon as we get calm weather, I will add my vid |

| sparky |
that should do though just get some nice pound line
