Radio Control Trumpeter 1:200 Titanic Build Part 13 - The First Test

This is the thirteenth in a series of videos I’m going to produce to document the building of my Trumpeter 1:200 model Titanic. In this episode I cover a few things:
- Adding mudguards to the motors.
- Testing the watertight bulkheads.
- Adding new, sharper pitched propellers to the model.
- The first and second test runs.
- The running in process of the propeller shaft bearings.
- A onboard charging system for the batteries.

Hopefully this gives some tips! I am really happy with my results, but as always happy to hear other ideas people have had.

It’s taken months to work out how I am going to build this, and I have quite a lot left to do.
It’s just a hobby for me so don’t expect videos every other day.

This isn’t really a how to guide, it’s just my way of building things. If some of you get some ideas from it that's brilliant, but equally if you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.
