cant wait to see my baby floating around the place before i get my hands on it,
it will make an impressive sight along with bissy , when there both together.
i saw a model of bismarck yesterday on a site called kbismarck.com. on it there are pics of fellas bissy's, some scratch built . others kit. but one particular one amazes me.
in the pic, shes in the water , turrets turned, and a bolt of fire and smoke coming out of turret.
how is that done? it looks just awsome, once your on the site, click on pictures and browse through the 8 or 9 builds on it and you will find it.
well worth the effort to look,
also to anyone who has nat geograghic on their t.v, two brill shows are one about the nimitz.
thursday night @ 9pm irish time called big,bigger and biggest , also sun night at 9pm and 10 pm about uss ronald reagan and nimitz.

4 props 20mm diameter (2 turning left, 2 turning right)
knots ?
if you mean speed - don't know, never used speed250 motors before
note that i had to close all hangar doors, otherwise we'll get a submarine ;D
so you'll have to affix all included planes (approx. 20 pcs.) on the main deck

sorry, jc...
in a rc carrier i cannot mount the hangar deck just behind the doors (for access to the rc and for weight reasons) - so there's nothing behind it except for motors, esc, ....
don't think you want to see the ship's electronics when looking through the hangar doors.
also leaving the doors open would end in desaster as the hangar doors are located 2cm above the waterline..
you could fix some of the elevators in lower position and put a plane on it... i think in real life those doors are only opened when planes are pushed onto the elevator...
will post a pic of the hangar doors this evening, i think they're looking fine...
