Today's episode of The Radio Control Show is all about boats. Chris shows us 3 different hull types, engine types, and takes a trip to Hobby Town USA in New Milford, Connecticut to show the importance of your local hobby shop.

I used a Spektrum AR9000 for guidance. The Castle Creations BEC and a Thunder Power lipo send 6 volts to the Hitec servos. You can also see the heavy duty pushrods which actuate the tail surfaces. Kudos Kyosho for a well thought out design!

I downloaded an instument panel and printed it out for the 190. As there isn't one yet, I can safely say: pilot wanted. ;-)

I used a KMS 4120/06 outrunner coupled to a Castle Creations Phoenix 80 ESC. A 5s 5000mah pack supplies the "juice". This setup produces in excess of 1.5hp on a 6.3lb model. :-)

With split flaps, retracts, and electric power, this plane is super cool. If you want a sport flying scale warbird, you want this plane! :-)
