Hello fellow Model Boat/Marine enthusiasts.

Being a new member of this forum I would like to give a brief outline of my experience In model boat building to date. My only claim to fame so far, Is that I've built an R/C 'Micro Magic' yacht (from a kit) about 2 years ago, so I'm not a complete beginner.

For my next venture I would like to build a model R/C Boat or Ship. The first piece of equipment I have for this project Is a Planet T5 TX/RX set-up.

I would be very grateful for some advice from the forum as to, what would be a good kit for a builder with limited knowledge and experience In boat building? Once the kit has been chosen, what electric and electronics equipment would I need for the model such as?

Brushed or Brushless Motor.

ESC (Forward & Reverse).

Batteries & Charger.

Servo, for the rudder.

Any further necessary parts or equipment.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards

Stephen Roberts (MerseyTrainz)
