I have fitted some 4mm Ply Reinforcement around the big opening in the deck, to make the structure nice and rigid, and give it sufficient strength. Wherever there are going to be holes in the deck for the Stanchions, Towing Post and the Forward Samson Post, i have reinforced these areas as well. All the ply was then given a coating of Resin. The Prop Shafts have arrived, and the rudders fabricated out of Brass and styrene.
I weighed the Hull again, and after cutting out the Recovery Wells, this now weighs in at 706g. The finished Deck Moulding weighs in at 434g, giving a total of 1140g, which means things are looking good on the weight front. The maximum all-up weight has to be 3.1kg or under, and i am hoping if there is any spare, then i will be able to fit a sound unit and speaker. Since i now have the Motors, Mounts, ESCs and LIPOs, i will weigh all of this lot over the next few days.
