I think that to get into the hobby, you just have to like and be interested in it. 1 years ago I started to get interested in aviation and today I fly in a simulator, I have 1 flight computer and several books about,you start doing things within your reach in a short time you are fully involved.
@@herbertnatanael You did the upmost to avoid answering this question correctly, the guy wants to know where he can buy/get parts to make his own RC Battleship, don't know what your interest in aviation has anything to do with this person's question.
@@TheBirdThatKnowsWhatsGood well i mean he is quite literally right step 1) be interested in it 2) learn about it 3) use the knowledge learned. What you need to learn first is how to make a proper floatable frame or model boat google model boat making. Then you need to learn how to put an RC motor and propeller system into the boat. Then you need to learn how to make an air cannon for the boat. I would imagine the firing component of a lot of high power airsoft rifles disassembled and built into the boat would work. all the way to step 5) Put it all together and tweak it until you have a boat that controls how you like and use the knowledge you continue learning to advance it into better aiming and calibration and of course a cool design
As other have asked, I am too extremely interested in getting into this hobby. Is there a site or channel where I can go to learn about the boats and cannons and their construction? Thanks!
As for hull repair, I believe they just put masking tape over the holes mid day and when the day is over the wooden panels now looking like taped up swiss cheese are simply just swapped out with fresh ones.
Great question, I'll add it to my list. For now though, here ya go. At the pond, I patch holes with masking tape or tissue paper. Once a ship is holey enough, I strip the old armor off and replace it in a process called "resheeting". Depending on how much damage I take, this could be once per year, or as much as three times per year. Resheeting a few ships usually takes me one weekend to complete. As for superstructure, this particular ship got a new superstructure about a year ago, primarily to reduce weight and improve stability. At the rate I'm going, it'll get replaced again in another couple years. Larger ships have the displacement to use tougher materials, so they can be virtually indestructible.
You could make a video about the architecture behind these model ships, where the machinery goes, what materials to use etc.... Let's *submarine* please :)
What type of shells this RC boat uses? Is she armored and with what kind of material is her built? I know they are a lot of questions but i just discovered this and I am soo curious
The hobby is called RC ship combat, they're shooting steel BBs of various sizes based on the class of ship, it's being shot by compressed CO2 and uses pretty common RC components to propel the ship
Depends on how you choose to get in to it, ie: making your own hull from scratch or buying a kit online, I bought a kit online when I was a teenager for about $600 which included a full fiberglass hull with gel coating, decking, foam superstructure and resin molds for the turrets and some tubing, but completely un-assembled and zero electronics or firing mechanisms
What do these shoot? Is it like metal bbs or a special kind of ammo? I'm curious cause they seem to have a nice amount of punch when striking other ships lol
Yes, that is the bilge pump. As long as you're pumping more than you're flooding, everything is OK. Exceed your pumping capacity, and sinking becomes inevitable.
Imagine the BBs exploding once penetrated or hit the water or ship I understand this isnt an option since it will cause to much damage to maybe expensive parts.. but would be a fun thing to watch and experience
Have you ever considered or tried to use torpedoes like they collide and release like a buckshot of whatever ammunition you use in your guns to blow a hole beneath the waterline?
Take a look around for the Australian Battle Group. They are active in many parts of the country and have regular local battles and an annual national meet.
@@kotori87gaming89 if you willing to help please do let me know I want to learn more but the aus combat group is all 404 or pages not found I can't find a Vic one at all
@@7r47ufchfyw7twguwgu Most combat clubs have been hard-hit by economy, pandemic, etc. in the past few years and their web presence has significantly reduced. Some clubs have ceased activity but most are still battling, just without as much online activity. Your best bet right now is to visit the R/C warship combat forum and see if you can contact any Australians there. I know the national organization still exists, but I don't know about the Victoria branch in particular.
This is onboard SMS Schlesien, a German predreadnought. She is painted in East Asia Squadron colors, not because it's historical but because it looks so **** good.
Where do you go to get into the hobby and what is this hobby called? Also, where can you buy the basics to get started?

So how often do you have to replace or rebuild parts of your hull/superstructure?

@@kotori87gaming89 how do i get into this hobby
@@kotori87gaming89 Hey, what do you use for weapons? Are them built-in airsoft mechanisms or something else?

Let's *submarine* please :)
I'd love some closeups of the damage done. The sort of damage you have to take to sink.
I’m starting to wonder how many bbs are in this pond
i figured thats what they were shooting i was thinking like those plastic onces till he said they rust.

Can you do a building tutorial
Great vid! Been wondering what happens when they sink. But anyway how much does it cost to get started in this hobby?

You sound exactly how i imagined
Man, your voice is cool 😎 😎 😎
what are you shooting bb's? this ia so awsome its deff something il be looking into as a hobby expensive im sure lol
What do these shoot? Is it like metal bbs or a special kind of ammo? I'm curious cause they seem to have a nice amount of punch when striking other ships lol
You,Sir,seem like the kind of person who would enjoy Ultimate Admiral : Dreadnoughts.
Which country you belong to yu guys have so much fun... damn i want to go to ur country mate
Are there rules about armor? What's stopping you from making something like old Ironsides makings impenetrable from the BBs??
lmao make your armor out of titanium and your ship sunk
I have a question,the water streaming out of the ships is a bilge pump?
Yes, that is the bilge pump. As long as you're pumping more than you're flooding, everything is OK. Exceed your pumping capacity, and sinking becomes inevitable.
How do you repair the Hull and dise it get to a point where you have to bin it?
Don't forget to pin your guns!
Are this ship homemade or bought pre built?
they all look homemade
time will come when this will happen in space, CoaDE style
How do you fix the boat because of the cannon balls
Do these take place somewhere in the UK?
Are these BB guns that shoot steel BBs? or are they something else made specifically for this?
yup steel bbs
Imagine the BBs exploding once penetrated or hit the water or ship I understand this isnt an option since it will cause to much damage to maybe expensive parts.. but would be a fun thing to watch and experience
First
Have you ever considered or tried to use torpedoes like they collide and release like a buckshot of whatever ammunition you use in your guns to blow a hole beneath the waterline?
it would be really costly
I would love to build the bismarckbut sadly I don't know how where should I get parts greetings from Australia

what kind of bullets does the cannon shoot?
Can't believe I just found your channel 😂. Nice video
This is an odd looking SPAD.
THIS HELPED ME ALOT I SANKED MY BROS SHIP AND SHE CRIED
Wow keren sekali... Salam satu hoby dari Indonesia
Looks like Spanish American War cruisers like the Olympia based on the paint scheme. Always wanted to head to Philadelphia to visit that ship.

How do you make the boats and guns?
Now i know how Titanic sink..... 😭
how can i build one of these?
Faut trop que je m'en construis un😂
What are you shooting i don't understand how this sport works
theyre shooting metal BBs
Where is this?
