Firends..i almost stopped kit building for many years, but now i got two lovely boat kits from my Country. i am thanking one of the respected Senior, in my Country for these kits.actually at beginning my intention was to complete the craft as it was.but after completion of the hull structure i decided to add some of my imagination on to craft..and thus my Blue Morph and Brave fisherman born..

i got these kits intact..thanks for the best packing..

the kit was simple but elegant..
i took about 20 minutes almost to complete the hull and started with polyester putty..

top paving..
and gap filling with polyester putty..

so after drying the poly putty, i started with nitro cellulose putty..
finished..up to this moment my intention was to complete the craft according to the instructions..but i added my imagination..to it..whats a craft without some imagination and personal touch..

so i started with my own idea..started to adding trimming strips and splash strips..

the prop shaft and tube was made out of a radio antenna tube, and from a bicycle spoke.

my first decision was to use my home made brush less motor, but its too powerful and some big in dia, and the hand made ESC also some big..so space was a problem..so i added a tiny brush less motor on to craft..

rathikrishna · « **Reply #9 on:** August 27, 2011, 07:55:42 pm »

so i added a dummy engine to hull..it also acts as a rudder..

rathikrishna · « **Reply #10 on:** August 27, 2011, 07:57:44 pm »

added a micro servo to actuate the dummy engine as a rudder..an easy connector was fixed for easy fine tuning..

structure is almost complete..

added a kort nozzle, and it saves my battery life to a great extent..

it also acts as a froth and bubble generator..

rathikrishna · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:18:46 pm »

showing the high performance mode..

rathikrishna · « **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:19:54 pm »

aqua planing..

rathikrishna · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:24:33 pm »

in hands of Gokul my ever favourite ship and aero model student..he is a nice rider..
showing the froth generator set up..its simple, and all we know how it works. a simple silicon tube is fixed just behind the prop, and a second hole is placed just after the prop.while accelerating the fresh air from outside, sucked in to the venturi, and atomizes with sucked water. so we will get a nice froth and bubbles..yes, reduce the performance to a slight extent..but a pleasant view to see...
