Floating Tanks

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. :clap: Except for the flat battery in the M16. :'(
The Landing Craft runs very well, too well, it is too fast on full throttle. :crazy:
Any way a picture is worth a thousand words so here is a VIDEO.
Click on the link below. :wave:

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 :clap: .

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 :think:
