As far as
plans go ... I drew my own from the measurements of the real thing. From
there everything was built on a "does this look right basis. " Even the
driver is scratch built using foam and then coating him with Elmers glue
so the fibreglass resin would not eat it up. The windshield is fabricated
from a quart size soft drink plastics bottle The cowling and drivers
cockpit were fabricated from an antifreeze jug by cutting it down and
forming it over ribs fastened to an aluminium base which is the removable
section for all the radio gear. The prop and shaft are Prather. Radio is a
Futaba attack 2. It has given me no problems, and is a blast to run. It
draws quite a crowd whenever I run it. Thanks ever so much again for the neat web site you have provided so us boat nuts can show off our pride and joys. Keep up the good work , Sincerely, Wes Whitlinger |
