RE: Landing Craft Tank
OK. Got it built and fitted out, still needs to get wet. Off to the river with the video camera first chance I get. But for now here are some snaps.

Very impressive OZ. I can't wait to see it unload its first wave of Cargo.

RE: Landing Craft Tank
Back again. Took the LCU down to the river today for its first run.
Tried it without any tanks first just in case it didn't do what it was supposed to do, All went well
Loaded 2 RC tanks on board and set off again, but then in the middle of the river it stopped running, then the wind got stronger and it found its way to the tidal flow.[X(]
PANICE[:@]
[:'(]
But lucky for me the wind blew it to the edge of the river and I was able to rescue it without any damage to the Craft but a lot to my pride.[:-]
The props and rudders got jammed with weeds. Did a quick Video[&o]

RE: Landing Craft Tank
[X(] My heart was pounding reading that. I operate 1/144 battleships and I can relate to that feeling seeing your craft drift away with no control. Glad to hear you got it back!!

RE: Landing Craft Tank
Ok, went down to the river today with my landing craft, a couple of tanks and my M16.[&:]
After battling with the weeds, strong current, and high winds I had a great time and everything went well. Except for the flat battery in the M16.[:@]
The Landing Craft runs very well, too well, it is too fast on full throttle.[X(]
Any way a picture is worth a thousand words so here is a VIDEO.[8D]

RE: Landing Craft Tank
Completely over the top; outstanding; rc model ship build & rc vehicle package plus I really like, what looks like to me, the gear reduction unit in your LCT. The crafts prop wash/wake in the video is neat and seems real. John

RE: Landing Craft Tank
Don't know how I missed this one................Just looked at it today and as usual it is "outstanding" and the quality we have become accustomed to seeing from your work and models......"FANTASTIC"............... Being ex/navy man also liked the background music,brought back memories of marching out on the grinder in basic traing facility San Diego California.

P.S. Wish we were neighbors as there is a neat little pond just up the road from my house where we could have a ball with that and other boats.Thanks for sharing with us,it was fun to watch.

RE: Landing Craft Tank
Thanks rye for the encouragement, I based mine on several different landing craft that I found photos of and a few drawings. I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like and it would be capable of doing and armed with that and a sharp pencil I went for it.
