Good Afternoon! Beautiful Ship! Add a Fan type Smoker from an inexpensive RC Heng Long Tank and run tubing to three of the funnels...Load with smoke fluid like the Railroad Guys use and you'd have some added eye candy for next to nothing in cost and time!
It really does look good. Wheel weights w/ self stick tape is a good idea. With ballast it looks like your water line concerns are for naught; she looks good as is. Thanks for this.
Hi guys, great piloting by the young captain. It's on my short list now. As commented before the smoke system will just finish this model off completely along with the ships sound horn system. I will be watching for a video of this. Cheers.
The model is 1/200th scale in size. But, if it was 1/200 in weight, it would weigh 250 tons. There is no way a model that size weighing that much would stay afloat What am I missing?
@@SSNFastAttack I agree. My question is, "If the volume of the hull is 1/200th of the Titanic, wouldn't it be able to displace 1/200th of the water the Titanic can?"
All dimensions are 1:200 in scale, length, width and height, hence volume is 1:200 x 1:200 x 1:200 = 1:8000000 This would relate to weight and displacement
@@peterjardine8409 you’re correct that when a model is scaled down, the size reduction happens in three dimensions (length, width, and height). If the model is 1/200th scale, that means every linear dimension (like length or height) is reduced by a factor of 200. However, the weight doesn’t scale the same way. Weight is dependent on volume, not just linear dimensions. Since volume scales with the cube of the linear dimensions, if the model is 1/200th scale, its volume (and therefore its weight) would be reduced by (1/200)^3, which is 1/8,000,000th of the original weight, not 1/200th. So, the model wouldn’t weigh anywhere near 250 tons-it would weigh much, much less. About 13 pounds assuming my estimations are correct, and would displace about 14.7 pounds of water. And that’s all not to mention that the actual ship was steel plated and full of wood, rooms, coal, furniture, etc., and this is an empty plastic model with an R/C motor and some ballast. 👍🏻
I understand where you are coming from, but I just took a chair out to the beach with a nice cigar and toured the pond with her. Nice and relaxed -> Just a different experience.
That’s beautiful. Awesome ship.
Thank you

Something to absolutely consider
Maybe they'll take my suggestion and do a Lusitania also. They could do both pre-war and wartime schemes...
That would be sweet!

I concur on the waterline. I'm leaving it be.
Beautiful model, and your son has a great touch on the controls!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing this great video! 👍👍👍
What a nice Titanic!😊😊😊
Thanks for visiting

Nice Looking Model in the lake like that .. Sweet ... Alex very Nice Job
Thanks 👍
very cool beautiful model!
Thank you! Cheers!
Did you guys buy a rc Conversion kitand converted the Trumpeter one by 200 scale model
No. This is a ready-made kit from Bancroft. You can see my Unboxing. Cheers
@@SSNFastAttackI just watched that video not that long ago after I commented on this one now I want this model
Is it the same one from unboxing the rc titanic?
Yes it is. They have a few open box specials at motionrc
Can you send the link
so this required some assembly?
None,
I do have 2 other videos you can have a look at to delve further.
Looks stunning. $1200 well spent.
Thanks
Oh man guess the price went up. $1400 now, and that's before shipping
Worth it
@@ohlawdy6855shipping is free! Ordered mine earlier this week and due to arrive today so even with free shipping it arrives quickly!
nice man
Glad there weren't any icebergs that day LOL
You and me both

It's scale represented in demensions not mass. Cheers
@@SSNFastAttack I agree. My question is, "If the volume of the hull is 1/200th of the Titanic, wouldn't it be able to displace 1/200th of the water the Titanic can?"
The gravitational constant on mass is logarithmic, not linear like size.
All dimensions are 1:200 in scale, length, width and height, hence volume is 1:200 x 1:200 x 1:200 = 1:8000000
This would relate to weight and displacement

I love it. I just feel its a bit boring driving it around I like to have it to look at so for 1200 bucks its a pass for me...

Too bad I don't have the few hundred bucks required to purchase it.
In good time
