Battling Season is coming

Well it is time to charge the batteries and check the radio as it is almost time to battle. The smell of spring with the crack of bb’s flying into freshly silkspaned balsa. My winter build is almost completed. What is left to do is install a new rudder servo. There is one issue remaining. The pneumatics are not working. I am have some issues with the quick disconnects. They keep popping off due to the pressure. The pressure from the regulator is set to 150 psi which is in the legal range. I will probably have to clamp down the hoses. But still I want to check to see if there are any other things that can be done. Otherwise once rudder servo is installed I can get it on the water sailing.

Ahh to sail. I have been waiting a while to get the boat out sailing. I need to check for leaks and stuff to make sure it is water tight for the balsa when it hits the water. I also want to check the weight to make sure it is where it should be. Once I am satisfied that she can there are no issue, then it is to sail it to learn how it handles. I want to see how well it handles. This will be one of three new ships to be hitting the water this year. Once this is done then I will commence construction of HMS Dreadnought. Ready Aye Ready
