Try doing a search. I remember seeing a full cockpit shot but I do not remember details of the steering wheel.

Did you build it from Newton's plan? Can you post some pictures?

I am still trying to start mine. There was an old RCM article on using WOF to builld this boat. Bought the plan, have the parts cut but have yet to start assembling it.

DasBoatman or Joe Joe Wiebelhaus are the best to ask this question

Hey Dave,

These are the best I have of the cockpit area - hope they are of help. Just found a pic of the 7495 as the 1975U-94 Shakey's Special after the turbines were removed, Forward cowl appears to be the same as the '74 No Name, so I'd bet the steering wheel had not changed - best guess. CHEERS !!! Bob Johnson

Mine also is from the rcm magzine. where should I start My search for the cockpit photos?

What kind of foam did you use? I am planning on using the pink styrofoam as it is easily obtainable.

Also, how are you going to make the cowl? Are you going to make it out of fiberglass? I am thinking of a one-off mould by shaping a foam block and then covering it with fiberglass.
