25 May 09 - I bought this at the South West Model Show (at the Bath & West Showground) on 18 Apr 09. The model comes pre-painted on the top surface and this is the Storm scheme. It is a quick build as there isn't much to do. I did add a liteply keel between the cores to make launching easier. The motor would be quite happy running on a 3S pack using the Günther propeller so I think I'll get a pack to try it.
