Specification; Important Safety Notes - GRAUPNER S-204 Operating Instructions Manual

Operating instructions for the S-204 model boat, Order No.: 2008
The full-size vessel
As the prototype for our model of the German S-100 class torpedo boat we selected the S-204. This boat
operated in the North Sea as part of the fourth torpedo boat squadron from 1944 to 1945. The special
design of these vessels made them capable of 42 kn (78 km / hr) even in heavy seas, and this was an
amazing performance for the time.
The model
This boat is a member of the GRAUPNER PREMIUM line, a series of particularly high-quality ready-made
models with an unprecedented level of detailing.
The core of this high-quality model is the robust moulded GRP hull, complemented by the superstructure
and deck which are constructed from laser-cut ABS parts. Many of the small items are of metal, and
almost everything is factory-assembled and fitted. The hull, some parts of the superstructure, the masts
and fittings are spray-finished using semi-matt paints, and the decals are already applied. The many
details and scale fittings give the boat an impressive scale appearance.
The large deck opening makes it a simple matter to install the RC components, and the procedure is
quickly completed. To prepare the boat for running all you have to do is install the RC components and the
drive battery, carry out a little soldering, and the model is ready for the water.
