Publisher's Note With the development of light and sophisticated radio control equipment there has been a huge increase in the number of ship modelers eager to build reliable working models whose every function can be controlled. This comprehensive manual explains in detail and for the first time all the technical details the modeler needs to know to fit and operate model boats with radio control. Hugh Bright first details the equipment needed -- transmitters and receivers, servos and electric motors, batteries, and other power supplies -- and then explains how they can be modified and employed to serve various functions. Whether a modeler wants to simply propel a small tug or add fire-fighting equipment, control the braces of a five-masted barque or fire the torpedoes of a model U-boat, the techniques for installing, modifying, and operating the necessary equipment are explained. Filled with one hundred fifty commissioned line drawings, this book is a "must" for all working model shipwrights and certain to become the standard how-to manual for fitting and operating model boats with radio control.
