Hi all, Fitted the front alloy forward ramps today, you have to bend them down at 90 degrees and leave to overlap 1mm all the way round not an easy job but came out ok, used slow setting epoxy on all the alloy planes and ramps, should be ok as it will glue to the foam inside the Sponsons. And of course I just had to put it in the bath to see if it floats ! and guess what it does :) with only a very slightly bow down attitude, will now have to make up a water tight hatch, this is going to be a lot of work as I have to make a lip on the inside of the hull so I can fit the hatch in it and tape it down before a run. Looking for a motor now, the boat is not that heavy so thinking of something in the range of a 4500kv motor running on a 3cell lipo 3700mah and a Octura 3 blade X440 prop, maybe that 4500kv maybe a little high, so not sure yet. All I really want to do is spray it blue ! but thats a long way off at the mo, so will carry on plugging away and see how we get on.
Steve.
