Finished adding the resin to the hull and took it to a local creek for some "sea trials" lol
Well all went well and I'm glad to say she floats
With the motor in and some rocks to simulate radio gear and fuel it seems to be sitting quite nicely in the water,
my mate thought it was possibly a little low at the bow but i think it was sitting nicely considering the lack of rise in the hull. (unfortunately no pics of the water trials)
Been searching around for carbs second hand at local mower shops so far no luck but its not urgent so I'm not worried.
Been looking at the exhaust of late and am going to make up a pipe out of aluminium,
will be using an oxy torch to weld as its the only form of welding i am any good at at all lol
Radio an servos turned up in the last two days (Futaba 6ex, r617FS rx and 2 S3003's still need a high torque but that will come lol)
Anyway on to the pics
Still not 100% happy with the Hull could be smoother but i think it will stay as is for now whilst i work on the deck
only a fuel tank and batteries for rx to go and i will have everything i need to test her out
I still need a colour scheme and name so any suggestions are welcome
Cheers, Tim
