    Maiden run and she looks great. I need to configure for a bit less ballast as she is low in the stern. She is a bit top heavy, but not bad. I have replaced the single ESC with twin units configured so I can twist the ship.I have added the rotating radars and a sound control unit that plays 60 minutes of aircraft carrier sounds. I am looking forward to continuing to detail her and add the deck vehicles and crew.

                            Hello all,

                            I am looking for a display case to protect the Nimitz when she's not in the water. Does anyone know when I can get such a case?

                            Thanks

                                Hello all,

                                Is there anyone that added ballast come up with a good number? I have to guess here at my place before I take it to the lake to run it and I need to have a ball park number.

                                Thank you,

                                    To rc Nimitz use plexiglass and caulking like they build fish aquariums And to dadoblades use bbs daisy’s small bbs will equals distribut the weight in the forward hull
