    The new raked-back fin and wing keel did the trick. The logitudinal CoG was just right. The bows came up a bit -and the stern down of course- so there's no need to re-paint the waterline either.

    Son-in-Law took photos and grandson wizzed about with his drone. The'll beam down photos in a few days. The fin shown here will be 'streamlined' a bit by adding a sheet aluminium cover. I made sail covers last week and reefed/stowed the sails but they came out very wrinkled so won't be using the covers in future.

    The problem with battery capacity seems to have been solved by using dedicated Rx batteries and no BEC. So two 4.8v/2000 mAh batteries in parallel now power the Rx. 

    I'll post a few new sailing photos when I get them and with some family help I'll try to post some video on YouTube.  That will then be the end of this 18 month scratch-build report.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
