Ha! You're right, PMM. I really want to try it out in the tub (not with me in it, of course), but there is a small problem. In the pic of the hull, after the batteries were installed, you can see a grey-colored piece of plastic at the stern. This is where the chrome steel propeller shaft exits the hull. The instructions say to fill the chamber, the grey piece covers, with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to keep the water out. But doesn't Vaseline also have a negative effect on model plastic? I thought it would soften / melt the plastic so never went so far as to fill that chamber. I was hoping to find an alternative (that I already have in the house) to try it out in the water.pmmaker wrote:On our old forum where PropWash and I shared builds, I asked him the same question.

Until then I am leaving it in dry-dock.
