Scale model of the Berlin’s daughter boat to 1:25 scale In spite of the Steppke’s small size it is a fully working radio-controlled model boat. A third channel is used to operate the capture hook on the bow of the model. The receiving system is switched on & off by the mast: when the daughter boat is hauled up into the stern cradle, the mast is automatically folded down, & this action switches the receiver off. When the boat is lowered to the water, the mast erects itself & thereby switches the receiving system on. This arrangement ensures that battery power is not wasted when the Steppke is in "piggy-back" mode. Specification: Length: 300 mm
