Re building a club 500. As you may remember, I was world champion of Bridlington three years running.
So having just come back to the model boating world and forum, can I add an extra tip that most of us will already know. When removing the inner deck for access to the inside after building, leave at least a 10mm lip, all round the inside. This will then enable you to tape in a waterproof cover to stop water getting in when the boat flips. (which it will do at some time).
If you glue a lip under the inner deck edge, then the piece you cut out, can be re fixed during sailing with water proof tape, so there will be no water in the boat when it is rescued.
Also stick some bubble wrap to the cabin top or it will sink when it comes off during raceing.
This may have been posted before but just in case.
Hi Daz, perhaps I'm the original bob of bob's board fame?
A micro switch set up weighs a lot more than an ESC, and being able to come just off the power is a lot better than stop starting. Weight kills speed. Do you want to take part or win?
