The ship is beautiful in detail and appears well crafted but it does not work. The Transmitter would not bind with the Receiver that came with the ship. All troubleshooting is done over email which makes the process extremely slow. Even after sending pictures and emails technical support is not familiar with the actual configuration that was shipped and was unable to get the transmitter to bind with the receiver. I am now waiting for approval for a new transmitter and receiver to be sent to me. After over a week of messing with it and $1200 all I have is a very nice paper weight. It's going to be a bit of a disappointment for my grandsons on Christmas.

Great looking boat, runs nice, pretty bow wave and wake! Used a 3lb scuba weight just in front of motors and 4oz of tire weight stuck to stern….these. Are my criticisms:- access hatch on heli pad could have been an inch longer to access Allan bolts on rudder shaft! Maintenance access is a huge hassle! Will have to remit everything to loosen motors to access prop shafts.-use silicone hose on oiler and brass tube in that to pump marine grease into shaft log which I can feel by rotating prop.Antenna always seem to be in way and are painted metal, wish the were mounted in holes on deck rather than glued. Nothing I can’t fix. Other than that satisfied.been into rc boats, nitro and electric and sail all my life.-

Received the model and have had the opportunity to run it in our lake 6-8 times already. It's a well done scale model in terms of size, appropriate detail and operating characteristics. True pleasure so far. I collect large scale, museum quality ship models and this doesn't have that level of fidelity - nor would I want that as the model is handled and will be damaged over time. It looks quite good for what it is and could be enhanced easily with aftermarket and paint if you chose to do so. There are a few areas (like masts, railings) where brass would have made it much more durable than plastic (or PE railings) but they are costly. Running gear is OK so far, lack of access to rudders is a potential problem. Range on my unit is at least 300 yards which is as far as I can comfortably see to navigate. I'd recommend this model to anyone who enjoys RC scale warships large enough to be stable and realistic but small enough to store, move and operate.

The Arleigh Burke Navy Destroyer is authentic and is like the real thing. I have it on display in my man hole/game room. I'm going to put it in a kiddie pool along with the Nimitz aircraft carrier. Both looks great on display. My next order is the USS MISSOURI. Great job with Motionrc as always
