Panart/Mantua 1/84 Amerigo Vespucci Build – RC Enabled

[Magic Mike]

Holy Moly JJ, I can't wait for this build! But I have to admit that you lost me in stage one - propulsion. What is your background, EE, ME, physicist, nuclear?? I really look forward to this build as I'm sure I will learn a lot. I'm in the front row. Magic Mike

Hi Mike,

Yes, I’m an E-Eng (Retired), primarily the energy sector (including nuclear). My area of specialization is industrial automation.

That aside, I’ve been a scratch model builder for years, although my area of interest was always RC aircraft.

Recently joined an RC sailing club so I’ve been building IOM’s. Sadly, wood boats are generally not competitive in this class.

The Vespucci offers so may challenges… I’m sure it will keep me entertained.

Cheers,

JJ…
