Unboxing the 62" USS Fletcher 1/72 Scale RC Boat from Bancroft | Motion RC LIVE 

Wow this thing has nice detail!

I just bought and took delivery of one of these this past weekend. It arrived in 97% good shape. I just had to re-attach one small locker. A bigger issue that I missed at first...the rudder was installed backwards. I noticed this because it steered backward. So I thought I just had to reverse the controller. But on closer inspection and looking at the photos and video here the rudder was indeed backward. Easy fix though. I loosened the screw that holds in the servo drive arm and simply pulled the arm forward to flip the rudder. That put the servo arm straight on the left side of the ship, where before it was positioned diagonally. That also fixed the issue where the rear 5 inch gun peg was rubbing on the servo arm. I guess with a detailed model things like this are not unusual. Motion RC doesn't have the battery in stock if you want a spare. Not easy to find, but I think I found another identical battery.

Very nice boat, and I want one. My wife watched your video, and I asked her if I could get one. Her reply was priceless, "Sure you can get one." Her following line was heartbreaking as she added, "Just as soon as you buy me a Corvette, and I don't mean a scale model boat."

lol, 39:01 I don’t think the rigging is accurate. But I am the guy with 18 books about building scale ships! This ship is a great starting point for “scale” modelers me thinks.

Those go on the mast with the atentas by the way where can I buy the rigging hooks and the eyehole hooks

All the foam pices I’ve kept for moving and the shipping box

So should I get a go pro so I can make videos of my maiden. Runs

Is the railing stiff or sort of elastic?

It’s a great rc battle which was the last one that aquacraft made but then it was revamped by Bancroft amazing great detail But I now have to buy on shapeways to order the navy sailors figurenes The crew

I hate to sound like a dad, I don’t know everything but I’ve messed up enough to know what not to do,so please, if you can, close up that blade every time you are done using it, fly/boat/drive safe!😉👍🏻
