Thanks for your responses. Gives me something to think about.

Hey Craig Any response to my other two questions in post 43?

How big a gas tank do I need for this 260 PUM motor? Does everybody use these pouches for fuel?

Let me know if this thread is in the wrong section. I’m thinking maybe it is. I don’t know who to contact to pose the question. I guess if I piss someone off completely, they will let me know.

All of my updates are under the RC boat registry section. Now maybe that build is in the wrong section, but I can’t ask intl a question like that, so I don’t know.

Very neat and nice! I am thinking about doing the same thing with some slight modifications: 1. I would like to use the rotary action of the servo post to rotate the throttle arm, so I do not have any any bellcranks in the system. Fewer moving parts. I think Zipp kits offers this hardware...

I am thinking that I will buy waterproof servos, and mount them outside a plastic radio box. Plastic “ project box” will have an on/off switch, a 2s life 2200 battery, and a receiver( probably one of my airplane6 channel receivers.)

Here’s some additional photos of test fits….

Maybe you should call it the “Lilliputian” tie down method.

I have seen a reference to these clamps, but I haven’t tried to make any yet. Good project for today…..any suggestions for the best size?

There outta be a class called “creative clamping”. I sure couldn’t teach it, but I could probably be a guest lecturer……and you would not believe the number of clamps I have, and I want some more…..the Klamp King! Or Klamp Klutz…..

By the way, Skully has a friend…….Bones. Also stands guard at the door. Bones got carried away with botulinum injections…..wasted away……but she’s good with a hypodermic needle….

Here are the pics of the two filets I made with gflex epoxy thickened with colloidal silica. They came out ok, nothing great. I decided to put in the front locating dowel at the same time. I fit the cowling back on, along with the two decks. They fit almost too well. I think I will...

Worked on both side decks today. One side is done,the other side just needs final fitting. I put the epoxy reinforcing filets on the backs of the 2 plates that locate the cowling on the hull. Pics of those tomorrow.

Just checked on the cowling gluing from last night and I’m very happy with the way it came out. Today I will be installing the reinforcing filets on the backsides of the two locating bulkheads for the cowl. Not much work today. Here’s a pic of the deck boards test fit, the sponson decks test...
