Steam-Engine RC Model Boat

Fully operational steam-engine powering a scale-model RC boat.

The “Asas de Mira” model aircraft club organized this international meeting (model planes, model helicopters and model boats).

July 22, 2007. Mira, Portugal.

Disclaimer: It was filmed with an Archos 404 Camcorder so the video quality is far from great.

    Se fores apaixonado por RC, em Mira existe um clube chamado “Asas de Mira” e uma pista de aeromodelismo. Todos os anos existem encontros por altura das festas da vila (20/7 a 25/7). Não sei quando são os outros encontros mas devem existir muitos.
