    mtdoramike got a reaction from Canute in What About Pavel Niktin Models?   
    Ships back in the day were built more extravagant than you would think , due to ships representing countries and their kings and queens. This is true even from poor countries. There were also drawings of ships earlier than people think, unfortunately a lot were lost in time. If you as a builder want authenticity in their model, then do as much research as you can on the particular subject you want to build. It's true model ship kits authenticity are questionable, but that is where you the builder come in. Kits are really only here to help you get started, but not necessarily the end all be all.

    I spent a little time on the two planes today. I also received the 3D printed crane that I ordered. It's a lot better than the kit supplied crane. It's the one on the right. It wasn't bad for $15.00.

    Your right, if my fingers would have been in the way of the props, with those brass props, I would have needed stitches for sure.

    Yes, it came with the 4 channel receiver as well. It takes 4 AA's which fit into the handle of the TX. The red button on the left is actually a cruise control buttom, you set your speed, push the button and it will cruise on it's own and if you want to up the speed, just push the button again so you don't have to constantly hold down the trigger.With Tax, $31.00 with free shipping from Amazon.

    This is the transmitter I bought the other day that caused me such grief. Even with the mishap, I really like the radio, it looks like the stick of a jet fighter and great for one hand operation if filming and such. It was one of those Amazon purchases that my wife keeps questioning me about when the CC bill shows up in the mail. For $29.00 I just couln't pass it up, well I could, I just didn't want to.

    You should have seen my mishap with my first full-size RC helicopter. I had the Tx stick in the wrong position and as soon as I plugged in the Rx, the main rotor started to spin up and that thing left a heck of a mark on my forearm. It's crazy how much power those things produce. If fully spinning, it could easily cut off a finger, I am certain. It's good for you that your hand was nowhere close to your props when that thing fired up or this would have been a whole different story. These things are definitely not harmless toys.
