USCG 36500 lifeboat 686mm

Standard šestatřicetistopové lifeboats US Coast Guard US Coast Guard (USCG) were the backbone of the coastal rescue during the 40s and 50s. Stellar hour boat came CG 36500 February 18, 1952, when along with four others rescued 32 sailors from a tanker which ran aground and broke in two at the Cape Cod on the coast of Masschusetts. After removal from service boat unmaintained, but now has been overhauled, and serves as a floating museum cruising the waters around Cape Cod (Cape Cod). In 1916 he had come to cinemas showing the film one famous rescue. Actual ship is powered by six-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine with 100 HP and gives it a top speed of 9 knots.

Designers rescue boat in Rozsyp in scale 1: 16 for driving an electric range of 500-600 for advanced builders. Thanks to the high almost ready to most parts of the building is not particularly demanding on the skill and workshop equipment - but, of course, careful and patient work in the shipbuilding necessary to achieve a good result. For bonding you need medium and thick glue, "acetone" modeling glue and epoxy. The actual construction is carried out by the drawing at actual size, according to the perspective drawing showing in detail the structure of the ship for the selected key steps (such as Framing) serves construction products made of plywood parts. Making accessories such as railings facilitate preprinted templates in 1: 1st

The fuselage is made (as in a real boat) bone, which forms the backbone keel with attached ribs - all the parts are laser-carved, as well as a build products guarantees correct assembly of the skeleton. Hull shell is composed of balsa rails - using softwood facilitates bending and shaping planks (without soaking) and their subsequent grinding. To achieve more complex shapes, but of course you have to dig after soaking (in diluted ammonia water 1: 1 cold or hot water with liquid fabric softener means) - but thanks to the sophisticated design of the ship rarely. The deck and superstructure are made of laser-carved plywood parts and balsa wood planks.

Scale Accessories range are formed parts of wire, cast in white metal and wood. If you have enough flavor and perseverance, you can further improve the model eg. Adding equipment wheelhouse, functional lighting, boat certainly benefit from the installation of at least one paramedic in oilskins etc. It's up to you how you put on your work depends ...

Propulsion electric motor serves a series of 500 or 600 (not included in the kit) powered from šestičlánkového NiMH or NiCd battery (eg appropriate. Šestičlánky for RC cars 1:10). Boat shaft with the housing and the spacer is also necessary to buy - are also suitable domestic compact direct clutch shaft and a flange for mounting the motor. Dumas for this model adds a special set of # 2371 (comprising shaft sleeve cardan. Clutch Scale three-bladed bronze propeller 1.5 "). For use maketových propellers (1,5 "- 38 mm), it is necessary to use low speed motors or conventional" five hundred "supplement gearbox 1.75: 1 or 1: 2 (e.g. Graupner Multispeed # 1114.20). To maximize engine performance and long cruises when using a large capacity battery is recommended to supplement the engine cooling water.

To control the ship will suffice, at least any two-channel radio system, two-way electronic speed regulator least 30A (depending on engine) and one standard servo for rudder.

Kit includes: laser carved plywood parts, balsa wood planks to the shell plating, and lime beams, cast metal parts and other accessories Scale, construction plan containing three-view drawing of the ship and perspective views of the various steps of the building, the building instruction.
