Bigford, I agree with you about the lack of info in the Billing instructions concerning R/C installation. I believe if I had no previous experience of R/C boat building, I would have been in trouble although, to be fair, Billing do say that some experience is necessary. However, if more detailed instructions on radio installation was included, more people may be tempted to have a go at Billing kits for on water use.
Footski, thanks for the comment - yes, it is my first attempt at plank on frame, and having successfully completed the hull, it gives me the confidence to try other, more complex, hull shapes. I had previously only built hard chine hulls.
I will post more photos as the work progresses.
Peter.
