While the instructions for this model boat say, use Sterno to power it, I can't get Sterno in the UK. So, I've improvised with these solid fuel tablets from a camping shop.
Another alternative would be Mamod solid fuel tablets intended for running their range of steam engines. I suspect this would be a bit more expressive and no more effective than the camping shop version. For £1.99 I got 24 tablets which I think is enough for 12 runs. I wonder how much an electric boat would cost to charge for a similar number of sessions ?
