DocF225 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ran across this in my latest Radio Control Journals. It's an RC electric Pyrate Ship. LOA 40.5 inches with a 10.5 inch beam. 6 Cannon and a handful of crewe. Good for ponds, pools or other small slow moving water. Ready to run for a mere $300 US. Got one on my holiday list.

Rumba Rue Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Where can it be gotten from? (Not that I can afford it, but others might) Also, recently a friend of mine who sells children's toys and things at faires had someone buy one of her larger ships and he told her he's going to outfit it for radio control. If anyone is interested I'll turn you onto her. Rumba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim-sib Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 How many channels on the RC ? I see the prop on the photo. The rudder may be too small for a good bite. Also, is there a servo for the square sails ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocF225 Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Tower Hobbies has 'em www.towerhobbies.com It's a two channel radio one for the motor (Electronic Speed Control) and one for the rudder. The sails are more for show than "go". The reviewers say its a nice pond or pool boat but won't handle big water or heavy winds. Might be a good place to start. Then up the motor size, enlarge the rudder and add in a few mods like moving/firing cannons and some sound effects. Doc Wiseman - Ship's Physician, Stur.. er...

Red Cat Jenny Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Ahhh LOL th video was GREAT!! If I had a pool I would buy one of these! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastie04 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Here's a link to the best RC tall ship I've seen. Unfortunately, it's not available commercially, as it was scratch built. However, it features controllable sails, 'blank' firing cannons, a motor for when the wind dies, and a flag hoist that can douse the American flag and hoist a pirate flag!!! Besides, it's a model of the best ship out there. Enjoy.
