A Confederate Ironclad.

Mechanically powered by a variable pitch propeller (not original). High geared, so even 20% thrust will get it to about maximum speed (about 20 mph).

The scale of the prop and rudder are slightly larger due to achieving a good level of speed and for visuals.

Operating Instructions:

Activation 1 to switch on the variable prop. VTOL down for forward and up for reverse. Just over the first notch is the sweet spot or thereabouts.

Activation 2 to switch on the rudder (turn off the prop first) and use VTOL to steer.

Activations 3 through 5 for the Guns.
Activation 6 for life boats (just in case).

There are a couple of different types of variable props you can try as well.
