Hi everyone, pretty much first post on this forum, thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge. I'm getting back into RC after a long time but at this stage I'm only really comfy with RTR stuff as my modelling experience is not very technical.
I have the Joysway Magic Cat, which is fantastic. Here are somy images (two are from the Vee-hull version but its essentially the same design upper hull / canopy wise)
Water entering the model is quite a significant issue as at low speeds it will often have water flooding the deck as it sits so low in the water. On a review it was suggested that 'hockey tape' be applied to the canopy perimeter. Elsewhere I have heard suggested a bead of silicone gel be run around the outside of the canopy edge. What do you recommend? The thing that confuses me about the tape is ease of removing the canopy after it is applied, and how much water would reduce the adhesiveness. I will vaseline the rudder servo rod entrance into the hull.
Cheers,
Charlie
