I won so many last year, I thought I would give you a chance, even down to lending you my battery so I couldn’t take any video.
Some tips for next time, charge up the camera batteries and don’t film to much sky and be nice to the judge.
Well deserved Pred!
Nice video Kermit.
It was good of you to give us a lesson on what could go wrong.
From the words of another polly, PLEASE EXPLAIN”
When you did your walk of shame to the other side of the canal, in your video, you showed poor Dave’s boat on the shore and laughed at his misfortunes after he had tried to rescue you. but you didn’t show your boat in the same position that was there for most of the morning. – FALSE NEWS
P.S. But there was a lot of laughter down our end when someone yelled out – the green boat ashore again! (not me)
I was thinking a nice fluro slimy green colour.
The replacement flight controller turned up yesterday,
So after a lot of soldering and programming, it was installed in the boat and tested.
Hand rails and temporary windows were then installed.
Here she is sitting on her PVC pipe stand.

Next jobs are to fit the rubber strip around the gunwales and work out how to hold down the roof.
Congratulations Kermit, well done!
A special thanks to Kermit today!
Not only did he predict the great weather, he filled in for the President, was official gate opener, greenkeeper, safety officer, cook, and chief photographer, and still found time to fly his planes and give us some lessons on how to fly.
My video from today,
What do you mean “US” There is only “ONE” skipper with green yachts.
Oh, That’s right, it doesn’t matter anyway because you can’t get out of bed so you will be safe.
Hoppy, The flight controller will be programmed to seek and destroy green yachts.
Good to hear from you Tugboat, and yes it does sound nice.
Happy New Year!
Two 120 Amp ESC’s fitted.
Plumbing installed for the cooling system.
Covers printed to fit over the end of the shafts. (Stops water and grease flying around the boat)
All shafts greased and universals covered in heatshrink and lubricated.

Rx, flight controller and GPS installed and programmed with INAV.

Just need some water to try it.
I agree, a great video by Kermit, a deserving winner of the 2021 GMA!
That looks interesting.
Installing the rudder servo’s
A couple more brackets were drawn up and 3D printed for mounting the rudder servo’s.

Glued into place, servo’s bolted down and hooked up the linkages,

Just got to throw in some electronic bits and pieces and she is ready for a sea trial.
