RC Boats

[CupidStunt]

We've recently relocated to quite a lake centric area and I was looking at getting a couple of Radio Controlled boats for me and the wee man.

It's a bit of a info landline to be honest out there, and quite difficult for the non educated to stay away from a 5 minutes when fully charged Chinese POS.

Any recommendations lads? Also, are they ok on a calm sea shore also?

Lots of them - inc sailing ship style ones on Knightswood Park pond. Their model boat club often has open days - so imagine there may be somewhere local to you where you can get advice from enthusiasts.

I was thinking, "What, 19th Century Terrorist boats now too?"

Not in Scotland anymore mate - and checked, nothing nearby without a good bit of travelling.

Got my son one of these a couple of years ago:

Wouldn't advise using it in salt water as the salt will slowly damage it

Me too. I was about to commission a proddy submarine

There is a model boat club in Strathaven Park. About half a dozen chaps sail there model boats there most weeks.

No idea how to contact them, but they are there quite regularly.

Bring back the old song, "we all live in an orange submarine."
