    Wish my father was still alive to see this. He was at the RAF air station in Binbrook in the 1950s--that air station hosted, briefly, the remains of the dambuster squadron, and they were still flying Lancasters in the 1950s. Along with actually being in the RAF (as a radio technician), he was an aeromodeller. Just a beautiful job.

    For me the funniest bit was calling it an "emulsion". As if somehow, giving poopy, sticky mud a scientific name makes it less messy and gross.
    I remember seeing a documentary on this bit of history and how fascinating it was. Cool to see a recreation of it.

    Looks great! Seems quite floaty though, will need to go a lot faster for skimming a bomb on water I think. Will probably also need extremely smooth water, even small ripples will represent sizeable waves at this scale.

You my find that the smallest size motor will work better. Being old enough to be your grandfather I have to admit it makes me want to get back out there and build some more again. We had rubber bands or gas that’s it. Thanks from Ohio USA.
