Remote control boats, petrol-gas powered boats

 Remote control petrol powered power boats, the scourge of the local ponds. Excellent fun on lakes and reservoirs, become your own captain and chase the ducks in the park. ( Apparently it is illegal to do this) Remote control boats can come in kit form so the enthusiast can build his own from scratch. For the less enthusiastic DIY'er, they also come ready made. The choice of different boats is extensive on the internet, from galleons of the Napoleonic wars to the power boats that are racing today. If you are more the submariners, there are even petrol powered submarines for sale.

It is true that with a battery powered remote control boat, there are less bits to go wrong, but there are also more electrical components which can go wrong. With battery power, the charge on the battery does not last long before it needs recharging and the range of battery powered boats is limited, so if your boat goes a bit far in the water, you will have to wade in to retrieve it. Nearly all remote control power boats are suitable for fresh water only, as the salt in sea water is far more corrosive. But check the manufacturer's hand book for all guidelines prior to setting sail, unless you have flippers and water goggles to hand, just in case. The parts of petrol driven power boats are easily changed after a little instruction, again, this will be in the hand book that comes with each power boat. These boys toys are great fun for every one. River races and canal races are being held around the country at different times, and there are clubs to join for remote control petrol operated toys. There are also many gas powered boats to choose from. These make ideal gifts for any occasion.
