Looking very good markus!
but aren't you worried that the motormounts will melt? Electric motors tend to get pretty hot when stressed....

the motors are rated at only 0,7amps (speed400 are rated at 3amps) this is only 5 watts, so nothing to worry about... markus |

Only 1 ESC for the 4 motors.  Still going to turn ok, just thinking of Bismarck and it needing a v-mixer with the scale rudders and propellors. Or am I missing something here, (would not be the 1st time). ;D the rudders are almost the same size, the hull is much shorter , weight of the model is only 2 kilos, .... this should make her turn well, even without v-mixer also an aircraft carrier model turning 'on the spot' wouldn't look realistic that's why only one esc was used for this model.... markus |

Ahh ok. Starting to think of building another carrier myself, I have a much smaller one from long time back. Have to find it sometime. Will have to start looking around for one. Come to think of it, I have the feeling it might have had a motor in it, (from memory). Now I will have to find it. It's looking good Markus. |

Seriously your workmanship is an insparation to everyone. I say you should be Sainted.
All hail St Markus patron saint of model ship builders.
