Powered by two 12 volt motors wired to a 12 V gel cell.
*
Currently a single speed control is used for both motors but that may change
shortly.
*
Now considering the use of two separate speed controllers to
give independent control which would
give
me the option of reversing one motor to help turn the model quicker thus
providing a shorter turning circle.
*
Now using a four channel Futaba radio.
*
The main deck is removable from just aft of the forward funnel to a point
near the stern so I can have complete access to the hull.
*
Decks are held in place with wood screws.
*
The rudder steering arm is located in a water tight compartment with
a small removable deck. It starts where the main deck ends at the stern.
*
This is my first attempt at building a ship model of any kind so
mistakes were made and I learnt from them.
*
Have lots of pictures documenting each step of the construction.
*
Comments from David Manning in Australia and John Hodkinson in the
UK assisted me tremendously.

Would be glad to hear from anyone else building a HAIDA model. I
