Okay, who wants to construct this? Perhaps the simplest paddler that it's possible to make?

OK. Who will be the first to add an electric motor, belt drive and radio?. There has to be some "enlightened" person out there!! It could be a good fun club competition!!. Regards, walter.

I was thinking a miniature steam engine actually!

My PS Reginald Model that I built ages ago was the simple rubber band design...didn't use bottles though. Instead she had a nice planked hull made from balsa and paddle pop sticks.

First and so far only 'working' paddler model I've made.
