[BMFA insurance with modified transmitters]

Reading the insurance operating with a modified rig would be covered - but if any investigation subsequently proved the mods to have been a direct contributor to the incident then the flyer might well find themselves facing charges of negligence in that the flyer "owed the plaintiff a duty of care" and the modifications formed a breach of that duty

So says STMBO who is in the legal trade

Tshhhhh

Mrs BEB's project should have been diagonally double planked and nice stepped hull to go with that hard chine, that would get it to plane (and yes, that is a nautical term) nicely ..... course a couple more 600's either side of the one you have would help too.....

Its not an RC Submarine, I am just investigating the application of Lipo's for a new form of farmland ploughing

Hi Paul

As I have a few months off, I am going to the field during the week, as I am for the moment an "interesting liability" in the sky it's probably best I avoid the busier flying times!!!!

I wont claim to be anywhere near museum standard, in scale boats there are several classes for Scale models, from Class A (Exact Scale, where builders plans and full documentation must be provided) down to class C (for kits) - sounds like your member is in the Class A area... Me? lower echelons of class B!

I think the biggest challenge in building boaters will have is weight control, its simply not really an issue in boats, I have a 56" 1904 HMS Kent which when ballasted down to the correct waterline weighs in at 60lb!

Been lurking for a few months whilst preparing the ground with "she that thinks she must be obeyed" for a return to aeromodelling, yes I confess I was seduced away to RC model boats for a good few years, but I have done the Jeremy Kyle detox thing now and back and swapping 40mm brass props for 12" nylon ones.....

Joined a club (Rochdale Flyers) purchased an Apprentice and very slowly learning to fly the damm thing...... mind you still feels a bit weird NOT putting 4 or 5lb ballast into the thing........
