Time for the float test ........................
Here she is in the bathroom. Only just fits in the length (if the bath water is to the top of the rim !)
She needs 5 of those 12 volt batteries to bring her to the water line, but where to put them is quite crucial. There was water seepage inside the hull even though it was epoxied all over. I will give this section another coating.
I weighed the total ship with it's balancing loads and it came to 30 killos. ( the weight of a small child about 3 stones ?) I'll have to lay flat lead sheeting to substitute those tall batteries.
Should be fun launching it.
Cheers
