Speed controller is a must. The smoke generator will be very cool.

A small package from the Royal Post arrived yesterday.

Smoke generator and speed controller arrived the day before that. Now I just need to buy my receiver and I can wire this thing together.

Why not motorise the 4" gun and the 2pdr AA gun?

I think that's why.

I was just agreeing.

How about depth charges too? I know that waterproof firecrackers exist...

Not a problem for me.

Might be for somebody else... I could just drive down the road to my friend's pond. I know that most people don't have that option though

I've always thought a fair part of the pleasure is being to show off your pride and joy to members of the public.

That could be. I'm not here to infringe on that. If that's what Jason wants to do, power to him. I'd like to see pictures of it in action.

This just kinda taps into my redneck "let's take it out and blow stuff up with it" feeling.
