RC Boat - Moonraker easy cruising - Yacht

During our yearly RC boat display in Wohlen, Switzerland, Moonraker was showed in a small basin. Therefore the top speed could not be achieved as of the limited size of this basin. Never the less beautiful detail shots have been the result from this yacht cruising in displacement mode.
When speeding up the vessel quickly starts planing and the top speed is far above the hull speed nearly reached in the vid.
Powered by three water jets - equally to the Moonrakers setup during 1992 - the max speed is between 25 and 30 km/h (what is perfect in scale to the original max. speed).

@RetoFor where in wich internet shop i had alredy serch and i couldn't find this boat

@mar234mar1 Search for Graupner Moonraker (Order no. 2188). The most shops I found in Europe of course, because Graupner is a German company. I heard, that you maybe might find it in Hobby-Lobby in the U.S.

@RetoFor thanks is not true that it is in hobby lobby but yes y looked up in graupner moonraker but there aren't more in stock

@mar234mar1

You are right, it seems hard to buy one at the moment. But I am sure there are some shops having it still in stock. Best is just to go throught the various offerings in the web and contact possible vendors by mail. Sometimes they have a box 'laying' around somewhere. I do believe that Graupner has not stopped production for good but this is also hard to tell.
