OK, I installed the radio today and set it into the swimming pool. With the rudder throw adjusted as per the manual, it has extremely sluggish steering. I could not execute a 180* turn in my pool, which is 20' wide! There is an adjustment due on that one.

The power, which I could only test briefly, seems very adequate for scale running. Reverse throttle stops it on a dime, which is handy in a concrete swimming pool with walls! It also sent a lot of water up the stuffing boxes into the hull.

It didn't come with provisions for water cooling but I think I will be adding it in the future.

Tonight I started some 'detailing'. Got the camoflage laid down.
