It's a Dopamine-Machine :)
The boat is working a treat but I've done a couple of improvements on it
for the next time out,
I found that the 3.2mm stainless steel push-and-pull rods were bowing when the jet units were at high pressure and I was loosing about 80% of the turn from which ever rod was pushing while the other rod pulls, that's 40% lost overall so I'll try some 4mm rods and hopefully stiffen things up a bit,
I've also popped an 18650 battery cell which is a first time for me,
luckily is was just a slow fizzle from a knock-off ebay cell,
I've got myself some new cells delivered today but I have to wait
a couple of days for some solder and heat-shrink in the post,
the camera mount has also taken a battering and snapped a rivet but it's
an easy fix,
I do hope to have even more response from the steering next time out which could be petty mental stuff x 2,
Thanks for all the comments mates and I should have some time this weekend to get back to you,
Have a smashing night and all the very best Buds.
Cheers
Mark

sorry if the picture is pixelated, it's down to YT.
I filmed it in HD.
