Operating Instructions for the PT-109 model boat, Order No.: 2012
The full-size vessel
The PT-109 is a model of the U.S. Navy Elco PT-103 class high-speed torpedo boat, which became
famous the world over because it was commanded by John F. Kennedy, later to become President of the
USA. During a mission the PT-109 was rammed and sunk by a Japanese destroyer. For his gallantry in
saving the vessel’s crew JFK was awarded the Medal of Honor - the American armed forces’ highest
decoration for outstanding gallantry in wartime.
The model
This boat is a member of the GRAUPNER PREMIUM line, a series of particularly high-quality ready-made
models with an unprecedented level of detailing.
The core of this high-quality model is the robust moulded GRP hull, complemented by the superstructure
and deck which are constructed from laser-cut ABS parts. Many of the small items are of metal, and
almost everything is factory-assembled. The hull, parts of the superstructure, the masts and fittings are
spray-finished using semi-matt paints, and the decals are already applied. The many details and scale
fittings give the boat an impressive scale appearance.
The large deck opening makes it a simple matter to install the RC components, and the procedure is
quickly completed. To prepare the boat for running all you have to do is install the RC components and the
drive battery, carry out a little soldering, and the model is ready for the water.
