Floating Tanks

[oztruck]

Ok, went down to the river today with my landing craft, a couple of tanks and my M16.
After battling with the weeds, strong current, and high winds I had a great time and everything went well. Except for the flat battery in the M16.
The Landing Craft runs very well, too well, it is too fast on full throttle.
Any way a picture is worth a thousand words so here is a VIDEO.

Great video,really brings into focus the size of the LCT.I was wondering if the ramp sealing was an issue but now that I have seen you run the LCT THE ramp is hinged well above the water line.Excellent job Blake

Wow oz,you've done a stonking job with it .

No wonder you have to work at it in a bit of a breeze,it's a big slab sided brute that must catch the wind.

Better to have a bit too much grunt than not enough though,and steerage control looks to be excellent,she certainly throws up a nice wash behind her.
It looks like the screws might be cavitating a bit under full power,but the effect is great.
Are you using just rudder or differential control on the motors too??.

Well done mate,it's certainly given me food for thought about a 1/16th LCM III
