Well here it is again, This time with the new nose and all plumbed up water jets, Might take it out on Sunday to give it a test run. I will be adding vectoring nozzels on the jets to assist steering.

That's a killer model right there:cool Yep mate, you're killing me with all that stuff (but I love it).

Made up the steering nozzle parts, they are removable for display. I may have to add a central vane as they are really short...... To be honest I hate having them there so if it turns well enough without them, then there coming off.

Wow, I imagined the whiplash that poor pilot endured on the second start ( with the Lipos cells). To see it on the water and moving brings me back in my childhood!:cool
