Do you think it would be possible to make one of these remote control? W/ Rudder and possibly heat of the flame?

[sciencetoymaker]

@wettfeat Yes indeed, that's one of the most talked about things on the yahoo pop pop steamboats group. Dig into the archives.

must cover the top of the boiler?

[sciencetoymaker]

@chindas12 Covering is mostly for looks, but it can be useful to block wind which interferes with the candle flame.
