I built this kit in early 1977 while stationed at RAAF Amberley in Queensland. It originally was engined with an Enya 35 and at some time later ended up fitted with an OS40. It travelled around Australia with me and ended up in Perth where it has been stored in my shed for approx the last 20 years - I now have the time to restore it and and do a conversion to electric drive. Can anyone please advise as to electric motor and speed control that I should be looking at and where I might be able to purchase a fittings kit. Bob Jordan

I built this boat back in early 1977 - unfortunately for the last 20 odd years it has been sitting on a shelf in the shed and now is in need of a complete restoration.. In its early days was powered by a Enya35 and then a OS40 but times have changed and part of the restoration will be to convert it to an electric power source. Is there any recommendations as to what electric motor/speed control and batteries to use and second question -is there a fittings kit still available for the 34"Crash Tender? Bob.

Photo's taken on sunday [6/4/10] weather was quite windy so water a bit choppy, but fireboat coped very well as you can see from the superb bow wave it creates! the twin prop and 4 rudder arrangement makes it a very maneouverable boat, even at high speed it handles all tight turns with ease and dont swamp the stern deck either!

Just completed , not exactly origonal but not too far out. On the pond for the first time today after a rebuld, and very happy with it I am. Graupner kit, Don't know the builder, but when bought it was yellow! It just had to be put back to red. I didn't like the green deck, so it became mid-grey (gloss rubbed down to semi-mat). Powered by 3 Graupner 500 motors. Working radar and lights (worked from a key-fob, not transmitter). Sailed at Inverleith Pond, Edinburgh. Home of Edinburgh Model Boat Club.

Had a full refurb but still need the window frames making when I can get round to it . Goes really well with a Graupner 700BB Neodym on 14.4 volts. Still trying to find the right prop, but pretty close now to getting it right . Aim to getting it up to 19.2 volt Should really fly then.
