Title: Thinking of one of these kits
Post by: glyn44 on December 14, 2016, 08:03:09 pm
Hi All,
I am thinking of having a crack at a Aeronaut Pilot Boat Kit. I admit it will be my first boat build, am am experienced with the "opposition" I.e. aircraft. I like the look of the thing. No idea how it sails though, so over to you guys, please.


Making waves, Glyn

Hi, thanks for the link. Just to let you know, I now have that kit, and have started the build. All ok so far, but a bit daunting!

Hi do not be daunted!  Build for strength though not lightness.  I restored a harbour defense launch built by an aeroplane member and everything was very fragile.
Good kit as far as I know.
Best of luck Roy

Hello Roycv
You're right, we flyers will do anything to save a gramme or two. But your advice noted, plenty of adhesive, well more than i normally use!
Thanks for the tip.
