- The RC Bluebird K7 Hydroplane has been completed and successfully run on Coniston Waters. This was an absolutely awesome project to complete.
I'd like to thank everyone who helped to make this happen as it wasn't something that I did alone by any means - So cheers!

What an awesome tribute to Donald Campbell!! Bravo young man!!
I can remember Donald Campbell dying in the Bluebird K7 accident - I was about three and a half, and it's one of the earliest memories I have. It scared me when I was told that they never found him. His helmet, boots and mascot, I believe, were all that was recovered at the time. There are things one sees, and can never unsee. The K7 flipping over and exploding is one of those things, and it never fails to bring me out in goosebumps, partially of the horror of it, but mostly that of memory. Your intro did it yet again. And yet, I find the 'Bluebird' story endlessly fascinating.
My cousin Andrew and I did the same sort of thing around 1962.Balsa wood and Jetex motors.He lived in Little Eaton .We got kicked out of the wading pool.Good fun.
What a great video! Wonderful filmmaking style and intriguing project!
Thank you for the kind words :)
I would like to say many thanks to the rescue crew who risked life and limb in the pursuit of my dreams,good family and friends effort love it
Excellent attempts to re-create a piece of Conistons history,your model looks stunning in that true Bluebird colour,I had a model of K7 myself years ago it was a toy but I loved the shape and reading about Donald Campbells determination to succeed James,onto the ext project then.
Totally wicked man! Great dedication and now I'm inspired get a proboat ul19 and convert it to this. A modern taste.
Great video. I look forward to seeing your future projects.
That was amazing. Definitely Inspired me to follow my passions and projects. Keep up the good work, what a fantastic job!
Thank you for your comment Matthew, keep going for it!
hi, big fan of Donald Campbell and Bluebird, I build model boats too and love r/c anything basically and I fly with the Xjet crowd here on youtube , so I understand the problems, but this is a wonderful video and you did very well, I must make a K7 one day, bless from New Zealand, ex pat here from Merseyside :)
That's a lovely build, I'm currently making a catamaran but this may be my next project ;)
Fun to watch!
Love it. Wanted to do the same build here in the US. great job!
You should put a small floating something have the bluestar run it over and say little nessy was spotted just before bluestar disintegrated by hitting little essy. That begins a new chapter making you a hero and tourism runs wild.
DMC would be proud of your achievement:-)
Very supportive Family.
jeffrey dac's and they’re not even my family ahaha :)
Nice one.
such a cool video
Congrats on ur sucess
Loved it good...
Can I ask what materials you used? I'm building K7 at the moment but she's just a drawing currently.
You know water is denser than air right?
So why don’t use a water prop?
AYO naruto refrence
Are you using an rcelectricparts esc? I have one, and it makes the same startup sound.
Why not use a waterproof esc,or coat that with liquid electrical tape?
That would have been a sensible precaution - However, the hull was supposed to keep water out, but it didn't.
Know Ernest Lazenby, the maker of the fastest model k7? I’m his grandson.
What did u you use to cover the engine
Brushless marine esc, and brushless edf
Buffers..video has a problem
WD-40 and cling film to the rescue.
First!
your crude model of Bluebird K7 is an insult to the real boat and to Donald Campbell where was the tail fin???
