Sorry for having been gone for a while, guys... But life dealt me a rotten hand (better said, my employer did the dealing) and life has been a bit helter skelter lately.

Haven't been sitting idle (in fact, buried myself a bit in hobby projects to not have to think about the misery in life) and it just so happens that where last leave period it was a steam powered boat, this time it's a bit closer to this topic. Still a boat, but at least powered by a converted-to-gasoline ex glow engine.



No solenoid system however, but that has a reason: The RPM (1500 approx, or 25 revs/sec) and the control frequency of the solenoid (30 Hz) are too close to each other, and I cannot be bothered to start messing with synchronized solenoid operation.

It's a continution of a project I did about 7 years ago, but for which back then I had a very unsuitable hull...
Did not feel like "engineering" lately, just wanted something to keep my ands busy and my brain disconnected from reality.
Haven't flown an RC plane in about 4 months, didn't trust myself with that kind of stuff...

Slowly getting back to where I am supposed to function, so...

And I'm not the only one that is slowly getting back to life:
Hasn't run in about 6 or 7 years...
