The model is powered by 1x Graupner Speed 600 BB Turbo with a gearbox 6:1 on 12 volt 7.2Ah sealed lead acid battery. The RC is a Robbe F14 with Robbe sound module. The only changes I made to the kit were the flag locker and outer lockers which I made of wood; the cast metal turnbuckles and portholes were replaced by brass ones and the rudder was replaced with brass sheet. I also installed Robbe working monitors, and working lights which are powered by a 12 volt 1.3Ah lead acid battery. The tow hook was reinforced and Englishman can tow a dinghy with 3-4 people (Photos will be sent later). I had a wonderful time building Englishman, a very complete kit.
