While no RC Warship Combat kit is "easy to build or cheap", this "Beginner-
Class" kit will get you started in this fascinating hobby and not only give you an
understanding of construction, control and weapon systems, but will make an
effective addition to any fleet in battling against your buddies!
This Combat Vac-U-Fletcher Hull Kit Features: Tough high-impact
polystyrene hull with polyurethane-bonded sub-deck and carbon-fiber-reinforced
hull-ribs & sub-deck cross-members. The sub-deck hatch openings and the hull's
pre-formed penetrable area panels can be removed with a hobby knife or box
cutter. Clear hatch lids & hatch tape waterproof the hull. The deck supports
realistic details and can house a forward-firing 50-round cannon or mounted as a
stern gun (not included). The rudder kit includes a 1.8 square-inch rudder cast on a
brass shaft with a self-aligning rudder bracket, rudder arm, pushrod, and e-z
connector with stainless screw for the servo. A mini servo is included for the
rudders. Servo models will vary according to availability. The twin drive kit
includes two "365" motors direct-driving counter-rotating precision stainless steel
shafts supported by Oilite
injection-molded copper colored polyethylene props, 6-32 threaded drive dogs, and
prop nuts.
This Fletcher-Class Destroyer is a 1.0 unit ship under the rules of the
International Radio Controlled Warship Combat Club. It can be equipped with a
"1/2 bilge pump" and a 25 rounds in its cannon, or a 50 rounds and no bilge pump.
