Steam Launch "Tchang"
« on: December 13, 2022, 08:39:29 am »
Good and warm morning !
They must be hibernating on the Island cross the Channel !  {-)
Very difficult to work in my workshop with my nose dripping at 5°C . Still I need to get my fingers busy, so , as I have this mono-cylinder Cheddar plant sitting on my shelf , I decided to build a nice little launch like those sailing in Vietnam before WW2.
I could not find no drawing , but looking closely, I realized that , by modifying the Seakadett drawing a bit  (bow & stern) , I could have something real close of the launch I want to build.
Be honest and tell me if you recognize the Seakadett looking at my "Tchang" !
- No sooner said than done !
A lot more to do but the varnish does not dry hard , the glue is inefficient , and I have to get the boat inside the house to dry up ! .... opening a constructive dialogue with my wife ! >>:-( 
Note : Only one servo for the rudder = simple !
Stay inside and drink hot ! ok2

Another beautiful build, you really are a prolific boat builder, looking forward to the launch party and seeing her running on the lake. We have solid water here at the moment!!! So unless someone has an Icebreaker we won't be sailing for a few days.
