1/4 scale Bluebird K7 for turbine power - new project started........
rapidrabbit:
I though this may be of interest to someone and also the best place to post some details of my new project. It's a 1/4.3 scale Bluebird K7 hydroplane for gas turbine power.
Here are some pics of the build so far - These pictures are of the plug that I am constructing ready to make my moulds from. My actual boat will be constructed from composite materials.
Enlarged and printed out my plans.....................
Foam shaped using my hot wire cutter...................
Starting to take shape but now some serious sanding and finishing is required! %
Going to need a larger table I think......... {-)
Once the sanding has been completed I will post up some update pics.
Cheers,
Nigel :-))
