I'm not and RC'er but I have also been trying to locate an RC model of Fulton's North River of CLERMONT.My intrest is in Robert Fulton and his boats.I located a photo of one on another RC Group's website. I have had no responses to an inquiry. I have also located a fellow who is building a 15' model of the North River. He is building his own steam engine and boiler as well.

Has anyone ever built or heard of a radio controlled model of Robert Fulton's paddlewheel "The Clermont" from 1807? Seems that somebody would've done it by now, but I can't seem to find much info on it. I guess years ago somebody did make one, and actually crossed the Hudson River with it, but there are no pictures of the boat and nothing seems to indicate when this was done.
