Suncoast Scale Model Boat - March 15, 2026 meet

Stunning weather most model boaters would be jealous of. Warm, but not hot! Very gentle breeze. No rain! But not many showed up. Wait 'till the summer comes" No complaints about it being too hot for model boats!

Anyway, I wanted to get back to my trawler with another video. This time on board with my old GoPro. Had some issues with the battery packs slipping inside the hull. I'm going to remove the one for the lighting as I don't use them anyway. Then I will add some fixed ballast in the bottom. The video with the camera (and waterproof housing) on the top of the pilot house made the boat heel quite a bit. Going to try for some more on board videos in the near future on my other boats.

Got the 4 minute YouTube link here:
I hope you enjoy it!

Lew! This is great!!!
When you have a moment can you post a picture of the rudder and prop set-up you've used Elena? Or is it in your harbor or build blog? I have a trawler in my future.
Many thanks!

Nothing fancy about the prop and rudder. The rudder pivot axis is about 35% back from the leading edge. This way the rudder forces more of the prop back wash to the side to help the boat turn sharper.

Sailing on Warminster lake

A long unedited video of the boats on Warminster lake taken from my HA Kits Thames slipper launch. The GoPro hero 9 has image stabilisation so some pretty boats to practice chasing and getting in the frame.

H.A.Kits Thames Slipper launch chase boat

Having got my slipper launch wet I mounted a GoPro hero9 on her and chased Rick's "Velsheda" around the lake for a while. Control system needs a bit of modification as I only have 2 hands but she was a great platform for "on water" video. Will sort the issues out and hoping to do better next time.😐

Another vid from my slipper. I have cut ventilation slots into the bonnets to try and keep the "workings" a bit cooler and she only tripped out once. A very light wind day but good practice for stronger stuff at some stage.😎

Camera Boat trials with Bill & Ben.

Getting more experience with new camera boat seeing how the gopro handles the varying light changes. Filming at different locations, while circumnavigating the lake.
Live streaming via the phone, changes to exposure etc. were applied in the final edit.
Again , thanks to Bill & Ben - and of course Graham !.

Camera Boat No. 5

Camera Boat 5 uses another simple "pontoon" design with 90

rotating motor and fan unit with rudder which was added later. Gopro was mounted on rotating servo which gives 360

vision.
Camera operated with phone using Gopro App.
Regarding filming techniques etc. - Still plenty of issues to improve and overcome along the learning curve !.

Mni Tnx Graham for being there with "Bill & Ben" and Jon G7NFK for all your previous help and support since my stroke.

Camera Boat - update - ( NOTE PULSING NOISE ?? )

Just a quick update with the new camera boat before fitting and running with the Gopro attached.
Observations :-
1. Maneuverability - Great - but better control with high and low rate options!.
2. Speed - Too much ? - may be , but enough for me to throttle back quickly !.
3. Camera - Good balance and rotation for 360*.
4. Cost - Minimal - ie. Motor & ESC kit from Hobbybitz.
5. Noise - 5/10
6. Fun Factor - 10/10 - just for fun ! - enjoy RC Sailing !.

NOTE - I would be interested to know of any theories in respect of the "PULSING NOISE" of the motor ?????
Cheers
Phil

Video Aid ?

Sailing and filming at the same time can be a challenge ! . But when local club member Graham sourced some cheap FPV equipment, things became easier to get in frame before hitting "REC" on the Gopro.

Hi Phil, been wanting to do that for a few years, but haven't found a cheap enough set yet. I've struggled with trying to position one boat with a camera, behind or beside the subject etc, while trying to drive 2 boats at once. One thing I was thinking of, was to put the camera on a 360Deg gimbal so you can rotate it and follow something, rather than have to constantly re-position the whole camera boat to keep the subject in frame.

HI All,

Just calling in to say that I have not finished this little model yet, large due to Christmas and the like. However, I am now back on it and it should not take long now. During the down time on it, I have decided not mount it on a stand but to make a boat trailor for it and have acquired a suitably-sized RangeRover, R/C to launch it into the lake from our slipway. Also, I have decided to use a gearbox, one motor, two screws as space and weight were both getting tight. So it will be fitted with two motors direct drive.

Nice job with the video Phil, especially liked the 'over the rail' shots of the deck and gear. Graham's done a brilliant job on her, and she looks to be sailing very nicely.
