Looks great so far. Looks like you have a really clean setup especially in the stern with your servo and rudder assembly.

I have done a few conversions myself and have had great success using the kit props drilled out to accept a brass prop shaft. I secure the prop with epoxy and have had no fuss. I am fascinated by RC conversions of ships that were originally intended for display (dare I say for collecting dust on a shelf?).

What's the scale of the freighter (heard it is 1/400 I think)? What is the length and width of the hull?
