Title: Kits
Post by: towboatjoe on March 16, 2006, 02:13:52 AM

I was contacted by a member about r/c Mississippi riverboats kits available. So far I've only came up with three which turned on a light bulb in my head.
We need a database of paddleboat kits that are suitable for radio control.

Yo Joe, What kits did you come up with? I can only think of two. Southern Belle by Krick and Creola Queen. T.J.   Does anyone have the plans for the Krick Southern Belle that they would be willing to scan and post?

Hmm, I missed the Southern Belle, forgot all about it. The three I found that could be radio controlled is Creole Queen, Mississippi 1870, and possibly the Queen of the Mississipi.

That's the only riverboats I know of. Then there's a few other paddlers like Portland and Washington. What other type of paddler kits are out there?

I can't remember, did I ever post the plans for a steam model called the Dixie Belle??

I wasn't sure if we wanted to add these of a completed kit. It was for sale on e-bay.

Now if this was only available in Canada for the same money, she'd be on the lake by tomorrow >GRIN<
